Logical
Interfaces |
Add logical interfaces
|
Defines one or more logical units that you connect to this physical
T3 interface. You must define at least one logical unit for a T3 interface.
You can define multiple units if the encapsulation type is Frame Relay.
|
Click Add.
|
Logical Interface Description
|
(Optional) Describes the logical interface.
|
Type a text description of the logical interface to more clearly
identify it in monitoring displays.
|
IPv4 Addresses and Prefixes
|
Specifies one or more IPv4 addresses for the interface.
|
- Type one or more IPv4 addresses and prefixes.
For example:
10.10.10.10/24
- Click Add.
- Click OK.
|
Physical Interface Description
|
(Optional) Adds supplementary information about the physical
T3 interface.
|
Type a text description of the T3 interface to more clearly
identify it in monitoring displays.
|
MTU (bytes)
|
Specifies the maximum transmission unit size for the T3 interface.
|
Type a value between 256 and 9192 bytes.
The default MTU for T3 interfaces is 4474.
|
Clocking
|
Specifies the transmit clock source for the T3 line.
|
From the list, select one of the following:
-
internal—Services Router's
own system clock (the default)
-
external—Clock received from
the T3 interface
|
Per unit scheduler
|
Enables scheduling on logical interfaces.
Allows you to configure multiple output queues on a logical
interface and associate an output scheduler and shaping rate with
the queues.
|
- To enable scheduling, select the check box.
- To disable scheduling, clear the check box.
|
Encapsulation |
Encapsulation
|
Specifies the encapsulation type for traffic on the interface.
|
From the list, select the encapsulation for this T3 interface:
-
PPP
-
Frame Relay
-
Cisco HDLC
|
Enable CHAP
|
Enables or disables CHAP authentication on a T3 interface with
PPP encapsulation only.
|
- To enable CHAP, select the check box.
- To disable CHAP, clear the check box.
|
CHAP
Local Identity (available if CHAP is enabled) |
Use System Host Name
|
Specifies that the T3 interface uses the Services Router's system
hostname in CHAP challenge and response packets.
|
- To enable, select the check box (the default).
- To disable, clear the check box.
|
Local Name
|
If Use System Host Name is disabled, specifies the local name
for CHAP to use.
|
Type a local name for this T3 interface.
|
CHAP Peer Identity
|
Identifies the client or peer with which the Services Router communicates
on this T3 interface.
|
Type the CHAP client name.
|
CHAP Secret
|
Specifies the secret password for CHAP authentication, known
to both sides of the connection.
|
Type a password that is known to the other side of the connection.
Use a combination of letters and numbers that is difficult for others
to guess.
|
T3
Options |
Frame Checksum
|
Specifies the number of bits in the frame checksum. A 32-bit
checksum provides more reliable packet verification, but is not supported
by some older equipment.
|
Select 16 or 32. The
default value is 16.
|
Enable Long Buildout
|
Specifies a short or long cable length for copper-cable-based
T3 interfaces. A long cable is longer than 225 feet (68.6m).
|
- To enable long buildout, select the check box.
- To disable long buildout, clear the check box.
|
Disable C-Bit Parity Mode
|
Enables or disables C-bit parity mode, which controls the type
of framing that is present on the transmitted T3 signal.
|
- To disable, select the check box.
- To enable, clear the check box.
