Note: DLSw configuration is supported on J-series Services Routers only. |
To configure DLSw properties on a J-series Services Router, you include the following statements at the [edit protocols] hierarchy level:
- dlsw {
- connection-idle-timeout time;
- explorer-wait-time seconds;
- load-balance circuit-weight;
- local-peer peer-address;
- multicast-address address;
- promiscuous;
- reachability-cache-timeout seconds;
- receive-initial-pacing number;
-
- remote-peer peer-address {
- circuit-weight weight;
- cost cost;
- }
-
- dlsw-cos {
- destination-interface interface-name;
- type-of-service number;
- }
-
- traceoptions {
- file filename <files number> <size size> <world-readable |
no-world-readable>;
- flag flag;
- }
- }
This chapter discusses the following topics that provide information about configuring DLSw:
