External Clock Speed Effects on Congestion Thresholds
The router uses several congestion threshold parameters to measure congestion on
the bandwidth circuit. The values of these parameters determine when the router
activates additional lines to relieve congestion.
If you want to change the clock speed of your leased line to a value other than the
default, 64 Kb/s, this affects how the router calculates the congestion thresholds.
To ensure that the router’s calculations are accurate, you must modify the clock
speed using the synchronous line parameter External Clock Speed. Once you
configure this parameter to match the line speed, you ensure that the congestion
thresholds will be correct.
The External Clock Speed parameter is part of the synchronous line configuration.
To access synchronous line parameters, begin at the Configuration Manager
window and select Circuits > Edit Lines. From here, you can select the circuit that
you want to edit.
For instructions on accessing and modifying the synchronous line parameters, see
Configuring WAN Line Services.
Testing the Bandwidth-on-Demand Connection
To ensure that the router can activate a secondary line if a leased line becomes
congested, you can use the Technician Interface to execute the
forced dial
command. The
forced dial
command tells the router that the leased line or bundle
is congested, even if it is not. This forces the router to activate a secondary line. If
the router cannot activate a secondary line, there is a problem with the line.
To issue the
forced dial
command, set the value of the forced dial attribute to 1.
The command syntax is as follows:
set wfSwservOptsEntry.wfSwservOptsForcedDial.<
circuit_no
.> 1;commit
To deactivate a forced dial connection, issue a
forced take down
command. The
command syntax is as follows:
set wfSwservOptsEntry.wfSwservOptsForcedTakedown.<
circuit_no
.>
1;commit
You cannot use this test for demand circuits using bandwidth-on-demand service.
