Specifying a Maximum Unknown Frame Time
The unknown frame time specifies the maximum amount of time allowed to send
the number of unknown frames defined in the Unknown Frame Count (see the
previous section, “Setting a Maxim
um Unknown Frame Count”). By default, the
LEC can send the allowable number of unknown frames for a maximum of 1
second.
This means that (using the default values) a LEC can send up to one unknown
frame within 1 second for any given MAC address without having to initiate the
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) to resolve that MAC address. However, you
can specify up to 60 seconds for the maximum unknown frame time.
Modifying LANE Timers and Retry Counters
You can modify several timers and counters for each LEC. These timers and
counters include
• Control Timeout
• VCC Timeout Period
• Maximum Retry Count
• Aging Time
• Forward Delay Time
• Expected LE_ARP Response Time
• Path Switching Delay
Setting the Control Timeout
The Control Timeout parameter defines the timeout period used for most
request/response control frame interactions. The default timeout is 5 seconds, but
you can set this value from 5 to 32767 seconds.
