Procedure 7-14: Set TARP parameters

- Overview

This procedure allows you to provision user settable fields and functions relating to the following TARP capabilities for this NE:

  • TARP Propagation and Origination parameters

  • TARP Data Cache entries

  • TARP Manual Adjacencies.

Important!

Values should not be changed from default values except by users who intend to provision the SONET subnetwork and partition DCC communications. All the Layer 4 parameters that can be provisioned and are needed for NE operation have default values. Therefore, it is not necessary to provision these parameters for the NE to operate in the network.
