Configuring Ethernet, FDDI, and Token Ring Services
A-4 117020-A Rev. A
Parameter: BofL Timeout Divisor
Path: Configuration Manager > XCVR Connector > Edit Line > Edit CSMA/CD
Parameters
Default: 1; 10 when the interface is configured for router redundancy
Range: An integer from 1 to 59, less than or equal to the value of the BofL Timeout
parameter
Function: The BofL Timeout parameter specifies a time period between transmissions of
BofL messages from this Ethernet interface. Beginning with Router Software
Version 11.01, the actual time between BofL transmissions is the value of the
BofL Timeout parameter divided by the value of the BofL Timeout Divisor
parameter. When set to a value greater than 1, this parameter reduces the value
of BofL Timeout.
When you configure router redundancy on an interface, Site Manager
automatically sets this parameter to reduce the time between BofL
transmissions. If the circuit goes down, the interface reaches the BofL Retries
value sooner, thus reducing the time it takes the router to declare a circuit down.
Instructions: Increase the value of this parameter if you want line status be detected in less
than 1-second intervals. Leave this parameter set to 1 and use the BofL Timeout
parameter for 1- to 5-second timeout values.
For example, with the BofL Timeout parameter set to 5 seconds and the BofL
Timeout Divisor set to 10, the router sends a BofL message every 0.5 second (5
divided by 10). With BofL Timeout set to 5 seconds and BofL Timeout Divisor
set to 1, transmissions are every 5 seconds.
