Data-Call-Enabled

Description: Indicates whether the MAX TNT supports data calls over ISDN lines.

Usage: The Data-Call-Enabled setting is read only. Yes indicates that the MAX TNT supports data calls over ISDN lines. No indicates that the MAX TNT does not support data calls over ISDN lines.

Example: data-call-enabled=yes

Location: Base

Data-Filter

Description: Specifies the name of a filter the MAX TNT uses to determine whether it should forward or drop a packet. If the MAX TNT applies both a call filter and a data filter to a connection, it applies the data filter first. Only those packets that the data filter forwards can reach the call filter.

Usage: Specify the filter name. The default is null, which specifies that the MAX TNT does not apply a data filter.

Example: set data-filter=ip-spoof

Dependencies: Data-Filter applies only when the Filter-Name setting specifies a data filter.

Location: Answer-Defaults > Session-Info, Connection station > Session-Options

Data-Sense

Description: Specifies whether the D channel uses normal or inverted data. Inverted data has 1s changed into 0s, and 0s into 1s. In some connections, you need to invert the data to avoid transmitting a pattern that the connection cannot handle. If you use inverted data, you should do so on both sides of the connection.

Usage: Specify one of the following values:

Normal (the default) specifies noninverted data.
Inv specifies inverted data.

Example: set data-sense=normal

Location: T1 {shelf-N slot-N N} > Line-Interface

Data-Service

Description: For a switched connection, specifies the type of service requested of the switch. For a nailed-up connection, specifies the bandwidth to use per channel.

Setting	Specifies
Voice (switched calls only)	The call should be set up as a voice call, even if the MAX TNT transmits data over the channel. This setting assumes that only 56 Kbps is available.
56K	The data rate to use with a switched-services line that does not use inband signaling, such as an ISDN line.
56K-Restricted (the default)	Data is transmitted to meet the density requirements for AMI-encoded T1 lines. These requirements dictate that you cannot transmit 16 consecutive zeroes. Use this setting only for a connection that uses robbed-bit signaling.
56K-Clear	The call should be set up as a data call that uses 56 Kbps of the bandwidth of the data channel. This setting is common for T1 PRI lines. When you specify 56K-Clear, bit number 7 is always set to 1, guaranteeing that the data meets the line's density requirements.
64K-Restricted	The call should be set up as a data call at a rate of 64 Kbps on an AMI-encoded line. A binary 1 is inserted with each transmission in the least significant bit.
64K-Clear	The call should be set up as a data call that uses the full 64-Kbps bandwidth of the data channel.
384K-Clear (switched calls only)	The call should be set up as a data call that connects to the Switched-384 data service. This AT&T data service does not require Multi-Rate or GlobanD.
384K-Restricted (switched calls only)	The call should be set up as a data call that connects to Multi-Rate or GlobanD data services at 384 Kbps.
DWS-384-clear (switched calls only)	A 384-Kbps call coded as Multi-Rate, not H0.
1536K-Clear (switched calls only)	The call should be set up as a data call that connects to the Switched-1536 data service at 1536 Kbps. NFAS signaling is required for the Switched-1536 data service. (Because all 24 channels of the T1 PRI line carry user data, the D channel must be on another line.)
1536K-Restricted (switched calls only)	The same as 1536K-Clear, but with a request for restricted data transfer. A binary 1 is inserted with each transmission in the least significant bit.
128- to 1472-Kbps clear in multiples of 64 (switched calls only)	Available on a T1 PRI line with Multi-Rate or GlobanD data services. You can specify the following values: 128K-Clear, 192K-Clear, 256K-Clear, 320K-Clear, 448K-Clear, 512K-Clear, 576K-Clear, 640K-Clear, 704K-Clear, 768K-Clear, 832K-Clear, 896K-Clear, 960K-Clear, 1024K-Clear, 1088K-Clear, 1152K-Clear, 1216K-Clear, 1280K-Clear, 1344K-Clear, 1408K-Clear, 1472K-Clear
Modem (switched calls only)	The call should be set up as a voice call. When the call is up, it goes to a digital modem.

Example: set data-service=voice

Dependencies: To ensure data integrity when Data-Service=Voice:

Use only digital end-to-end connectivity. No analog signals should be present anywhere in the link.
Make sure that the phone company is not using any intervening loss plans to economize on voice calls.
Do not use echo cancellation. Analog lines can echo, and the technology that takes out the echoes can also scramble data in the link.
Do not make any modifications that can change the data in the link.

Location: Frame-Relay fr-name

See Also: DCEN392-Val, Link-Type

D-Channel-Enabled

Description: Indicates whether the unit enables D-channel (ISDN) signaling.

Usage: The D-Channel-Enabled setting is read only. Yes indicates that the unit supports D-channel signaling. No indicates that the unit does not support D-channel signaling.

Example: d-channel-enabled=yes

Location: Base

Dead-Interval

Description: Specifies the number of seconds the OSPF router waits for Hello packets before deciding that its neighbor is down.

Usage: Specify a number from 0 to 65535. The default is 40 for a connected route, and 120 for a WAN connection.

Example: set dead-interval=40

Location: Connection station > IP-Options > OSPF-Options, IP-Interface {{shelf-N slot-N N} N} > OSPF

Decrement-Channel-Count

Description: Specifies the number of channels the MAX TNT removes as a bundle when bandwidth changes, either manually or automatically, during a call.

Usage: Specify an integer from 1 to 32. The default is 1.

Example: set decrement-channel-count=1

Dependencies: You cannot clear a call by decrementing channels.

Location: Answer-Defaults > MPP-Answer, Connection station > MPP-Options

Default-Call-Type

Description: Specifies a default call type for calls on non-ISDN T1 lines. The MAX TNT uses the default type for call routing if no explicit routes are found.

Usage: Specify one of the following values:

Digital (the default) specifies that the MAX TNT treats incoming calls as digital.
Voice specifies that the MAX TNT treats incoming calls as voice calls from a modem.

Example: set default-call-type=voice

Location: T1 {shelf-N slot-N N} > Line-Interface

See Also: Line-Interface

Default-Status

Description: Specifies whether or not the MAX TNT displays the status screen by default when the user logs in.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is No.

Yes (the default) specifies that the MAX TNT displays the status screen when it authenticates the profile.
No specifies that the MAX TNT does not display the status screen when it authenticates the profile.

Example: set default-status=yes

Dependencies: Default-Status applies to Telnet and console logins. It does not apply to use of the Auth command.

Location: User name

Delay

Description: On an incoming modem or V.120 call, specifies the number of seconds the MAX TNT waits for PPP packets before it changes to terminal-server mode. If it detects PPP, the MAX TNT routes the packets to its router. Otherwise, it displays the Telnet or terminal-server login prompt. If the caller's Connection profile specifies PAP or CHAP authentication, and the first data received at the Telnet or terminal-server login prompt is PPP-encapsulated, the MAX TNT transitions to packet-mode processing immediately.

Usage: Specify an integer from 1 to 60. The default is 5.

Example: set delay=15

Dependencies: If terminal services are disabled, Delay does not apply.

Location: Terminal-Server > PPP-Mode-Configuration

See Also: PPP-Mode-Configuration

Delay-Callback

Description: Specifies the number of seconds the MAX TNT waits before calling back a remote user.

Description: Specify an integer from 0 through 65535. The unit treats values of 0-3 as 3 seconds. The default is 0 (zero).

Example: set delay-callback=5

Dependencies: If Callback=No, Delay-Callback does not apply.

Location: Connection > Telco-Options

Desired-State

Description: Specifies the desired administrative state of a device. The actual state of the device can differ from the desired state, as when a device is powering up, or if you change the desired state on a running slot. Changing the desired state does not force a device to the new state. It indicates that the MAX TNT should change the device state in a graceful manner.

Usage: Specify one of the following values:

Admin-State-Down specifies that the addressed device should terminate all operations and enter the down state.
Admin-State-Up specifies that the addressed device should come up in normal operations mode.

Example: set desired-state=admin-state-up

Location: Admin-State {shelf-N slot-N N}

Dest-Address

Description: Specifies a destination IP address.

Usage: Specify an IP address. The default is 0.0.0.0. In an IP-Route profile, the null address represents a default route. Packets whose destinations do not match an entry in the routing table are forwarded to the default route. In a Filter profile, the MAX TNT compares Dest-Address to a packet's destination address after applying the Dest-Address-Mask value.

Example: set dest-address=10.2.3.4

Dependencies: In a Filter profile, Dest-Address applies only if Type=IP-Filter.

Location: Filter filter-name > Input-Filters > IP-Filter, Filter filter-name > Output-Filters > IP-Filter, IP-Route name

Dest-Address-Mask

Description: Specifies a mask to apply to a filter's Dest-Address value before comparing the value to the destination address in a packet. You can use the Dest-Address-Mask value to hide either the host portion of an address, or both the host and subnet portion.

After the mask and address are both translated into binary format, the MAX TNT performs a logical AND to apply the mask to the address. The mask hides the address bits that are behind its binary 0s (zeroes).

Usage: Specify a mask of ones and zeros in dotted decimal notation. The default is 0.0.0.0, which masks all bits. A mask of all ones (255.255.255.255) masks no bits, and specifies the full destination address of a single host.

Example: set dest-address-mask=255.255.255.0

Dependencies: Dest-Address-Mask applies only if Type=IP-Filter.

Location: Filter filter-name > Input-Filters > IP-Filter, Filter filter-name > Output-Filters > IP-Filter

Dest-Net-Address

Description: Specifies an IPX network address that the MAX TNT compares to a packet's destination IPX network address.

Usage: Specify an IPX network address in hexadecimal format. The default is 00:00:00:00, which matches all packets.

Example: set dest-net-address=01:01:01:01

Dependencies: Dest-Net-Address applies only if Type=IPX-Filter.

Location: Filter filter-name > Input-Filters > IPX-Filter, Filter filter-name > Output-Filters > IPX-Filter

Dest-Network

Description: Specifies the unique internal network number for the NetWare server.

Usage: Specify a hexadecimal number of up to eight characters. The default is 00000000. NetWare file servers are assigned an internal IPX network number by the network administrator.

Example: set dest-network=00000001

Location: IPX-Route name

Dest-Node-Address

Description: Specifies an IPX node number that the MAX TNT compares to a packet's destination IPX node number.

Usage: Specify an IPX node number in hexadecimal format. The default is 00:00:00:00, which matches all packets.

Example: set dest-node-address=01:01:01:01

Dependencies: Dest-Node-Address applies only if Type=IPX-Filter.

Location: Filter filter-name > Input-Filters > IPX-Filter, Filter filter-name > Output-Filters > IPX-Filter

Dest-Port

Description: Specifies a value to compare with a packet's destination-port field.

Usage: Specify a number from 0 to 65535. The default is 0 (zero), which matches any port. Port 25 is reserved for SMTP, and is dedicated to receiving mail messages. Port 20 is reserved for FTP data messages, port 21 for FTP control sessions, and port 23 for Telnet.

Example: set dest-port=25

Dependencies: Consider the following:

Dest-Port applies only if Type=IP-Filter.
Only TCP and UDP packets contain destination-port fields.
The Dst-Port-Cmp setting specifies the type of comparison the MAX TNT makes.

Location:

Filter filter-name > Input-Filters > IP-Filter, 

Filter filter-name > Output-Filters > IP-Filter

Dest-Socket

Description: Specifies an IPX socket number that the MAX TNT compares to a packet's destination IPX socket number.

Usage: Specify an IPX socket number. The default is 00:00, which matches all packets.

Example: set dest-socket=01:01

Dependencies: Dest-Socket applies only if Type=IPX-Filter.

Location: Filter filter-name > Input-Filters > IPX-Filter, Filter filter-name > Output-Filters > IPX-Filter

Detect-End-Of-Packet

Description: Specifies whether the MAX TNT buffers incoming data from TCP-Clear dial-in sessions that do not require V.120 processing.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is No.

Yes specifies that after authenticating the session, the MAX TNT begins buffering incoming WAN data. The MAX TNT continues buffering data until it receives the specified End-Of-Packet-Pattern, until it reaches the timeout specified by Flush Time, or until the data reaches the maximum packet length specified by Flush-Length, whichever occurs first.
No specifies that the MAX TNT does not buffer incoming data from a TCP-Clear dial-in session.

Example: set detect-end-of-packet=yes

Location: Answer-Defaults > TCP-Clear-Answer, Connection station > TCP-Clear-Options

Device-Address

Description: Specifies the address of any of the following devices:

HDLC processor on an HDLC card
Channel on an E1, T1, or T3 card
Modem on a modem card
V.35 interface on a Serial WAN (SWAN) card
Ethernet interface on an Ethernet card
Channel on an ISDL, SDSL, RADSL, or FrameLine card

Usage: The device address has the format {shelf slot item}, where:


Syntax element	Description
shelf	Specifies the shelf in which the item resides. If you are using a single-shelf system, the shelf number is always 1. For call-routing purposes, a value of 0 (zero) or `any-shelf` specifies any shelf.
slot	Specifies the number of the item's expansion slot. Physical expansion slots are numbered from 1 to 16, starting with 1 for the slot just below the shelf controller. The slot value 17, `controller`, or `c` specifies the shelf controller card. For call-routing purposes, a value of 0 (zero) or `any-slot` specifies any slot. For example, to address the first slot on shelf 1: { 1 1 0 }
item	Specifies an item, such as a digital modem or T1 line, on the slot card. Items are numbered starting with #1 for the leftmost item on the card. An item number of 0 (zero) denotes the entire slot. For example, to address modem #48 on a modem card in slot #2 on shelf 1: { 1 2 48 }

In most cases, the Device-Address value is obtained from the system. However, you can clone a profile by reading an existing one and changing its device address. Use the List and Set commands to modify the Device-Address value. For example:

admin> list device

shelf=shelf-1

slot=slot-9

item-number=37

admin> set shelf=shelf-2

As an alternative, you can just use the Set command. For example:

admin> set device shelf=shelf-2

Location:

Admin-State {shelf-N slot-N N}, Device-State {{shelf-N slot-N N} N}

Device-State

Description: Indicates the current operational state of a device.

Usage: Device-State is read only. It can have one of the following values:

Down-Dev-State indicates that the device is in a nonoperational state.
Up-Dev-State indicates that the device is in normal operations mode.
None-Dev-State indicates that the device does not currently exist.

Example: device-state=up-dev-state

Location: Device-State {{shelf-N slot-N N} N}

See Also: Reqd-State

Device-State (profile)

Description: A profile that stores the current state of a device. The MAX TNT creates a Device-State profile for each DS0 and each SCA when the card enters the Up state.

The MAX TNT does not store the Device-State profile in NVRAM, so the profile's settings do not persist across system resets or power cycles. The Device-State setting might differ from the Reqd-State setting during state changes, such as when a device is being brought down. State changes are complete when the Device-State and the Reqd-State match.

Usage: To make Device-State the working profile, use the Read command, and specify a shelf, slot, item, and logical item number. Item numbers 1 through 10 identify a line on the card. Item numbers 11 through 20 identify an SCA device on the card. The logical item number refers to a DS0 channel number from 0 to 24. For an SCA, the logical item number is always 0 (zero).

Example: To make Device-State the working profile for the device at interface address
{{1 4 2}15}:

admin> read device {{1 4 2}15}

DEVICE-STATE/{ { shelf-1 slot-4 2 } 15 } read

admin> list

device-address*={ { shelf-1 slot-4 2 } 15 }

device-state=down-dev-state

up-status=idle-up-status

reqd-state=up-reqd-state

You can then use the Set command to modify the settings in the profile. To close the profile and save your changes:

admin> write

DEVICE-STATE/{ { shelf-1 slot-4 2 } 15 } written

Dependencies: An SNMP manager can read the Device-State profile.

Dev-Line-State

Description: Indicates the status of the RADSL or SDSL interface.

Usage: The Dev-Line-State value is read only.

RADSL values

For the RADSL card, Dev-Line-State can have one of the following values:


Value	Description
Port-Up	The RADSL connection is operating normally, and data can be transferred between nodes.
Test	The unit is undergoing a Power-On Self Test (POST).
Startup-Handshake	The RADSL units are trying to establish a connection. The local node is waiting for the remote node's connection request. If this condition persists, the connection between the units could be faulty.
Startup-Training	The units are negotiating a connection.
Startup-Download	The unit is downloading firmware code into the RADSL card.
Idle	The unit has been reset and has not yet downloaded its firmware.
Down	The RADSL port is down. Data cannot be transmitted between nodes. The link goes down if one of the nodes loses power or if the line quality deteriorates. The unit determines the line quality from the Line-Quality reading. If the difference between the Line-Quality value and the Connection-SQ value is greater than 6dB for 22 seconds, the unit disconnects the line. This situation can occur when a line becomes open or when the remote unit loses power.
Out-Of-Service	The port has been administratively disabled.

SDSL values

For the SDSL card, Dev-Line-State can have one of the following values:


Value	Description
Config	The physical interface is being configured.
Deactivate	The interface is going to a port-down state.
Deactive-Lost	The interface is waiting for the Loss of Signal (LOS) timer to expire.
Inactive	The interface is starting up.
Activating	The interface is waiting for the remote side to start up.
Active-RX	The interface is waiting for the remote side to start a 4-level transmission.
Port-Up	The SDSL connection is operating normally, and data can be transferred between nodes.
Port-Up-Pending-Deactive	The interface experienced an LOS or noise-margin error. This condition occurs when the line detects noise of about -5dB.

Location: ADSL-Cap-Status {shelf-N slot-N N}, SDSL-Status {shelf-N slot-N N}

Dial-Number

Description: Specifies the phone number used to dial the connection.

Usage: Specify the phone number of the remote station. You may enter up to 24 characters. The default is null.

Example: set dial-number=510-555-1212

Location: Connection station

See Also: CalledNumber

Dialout-Allowed

Description: Specifies whether the connection can use the MAX TNT unit's digital modems to dial out.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is No.

Yes specifies that the user can dial out on digital modems.
No specifies that the user cannot dial out on digital modems.

Example: set dialout-allowed=yes

Location: Connection station > Telco-Options

Dialout-Configuration

Description: A subprofile that contains configuration options for modem dialout. If modem dialout is enabled, local users can dial connections with the MAX TNT unit's digital modems. Each user can issue AT commands to the modem as if connected locally to the modem's asynchronous port.

Usage: With Terminal-Server as the working profile, list the Dialout-Configuration subprofile. For example:

admin> list dialout

enabled=no

direct-access=yes

port-for-direct-access=5000

security-for-direct-access=none

password-for-direct-access=mypassword

You can then use the Set command to modify the settings in the subprofile. To close the subprofile and return to a higher context in the working profile:

admin> list ..

Location:

Terminal-Server

Dialout-Poison

Description: Specifies whether the MAX TNT should stop advertising its IP dialout routes (poison the routes) when no trunks are available.

The Yes setting solves a problem that can otherwise occur when two or more Ascend units on the same network are configured with redundant profiles and routes. If Dialout-Poison is set to No, and one of the redundant units loses its trunks temporarily, that unit continues to receive outgoing packets that should be forwarded to one of the other redundant Ascend units.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is No.

Yes specifies that the MAX TNT stops advertising its IP dialout routes if no trunks are available.
No specifies that the MAX TNT continues to advertise its dialout routes, even if no trunks are currently available. No is the appropriate setting unless you have redundant Ascend units or don't use dialout routes.

Example: set dialout-poison=no

Location: IP-Global

See Also: RIP-Policy

Dial-Query

Description: Specifies whether or not the MAX TNT brings up a connection when it receives a SAP query for service type 0x04 (File Server), and that service type is not present in the MAX TNT SAP table.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is No.

Yes specifies that the MAX TNT brings up a connection.
No specifies that the MAX TNT does not bring up a connection.

Example: set dial-query=yes

Dependencies: Consider the following:

If the MAX TNT has no SAP table entry for service type 0x04, it brings up every connection that has Dial-Query=Yes. For example, if 20 Connection profiles specify Dial-Query=Yes, the MAX TNT brings up all 20 connections in response to the query. However, if the MAX TNT has a static IPX route for even one remote server, it brings up that connection instead.
If the MAX TNT does not route IPX for the connection, or if IPX routing is globally disabled, Dial-Query does not apply.

Location:

Connection station > IPX-Options

Digital-Call-Routing-Sort-Method

Description: Specifies whether to use the old slot-first call-routing sort method or the new item-first sort method for digital calls.

When the system resets, the MAX TNT creates the call-routing database by sorting the list of all installed devices. During active use, the unit resorts the list on the basis of system activity, but the initial sort order determines the initial order in which the MAX TNT uses HDLC channels. In previous software releases, the order in which the MAX TNT sorted device addresses caused all channels of an HDLC card to be grouped together, forcing a single card to be completely full before the MAX TNT started using another card.

The old sort-order processed the components of device addresses in the following order:

shelf slot item logical-item

The new sort-order processes device-address components in the following manner, causing the channels of different HDLC cards to be interspersed:

item shelf slot logical-item

Usage: Specify one of the following values:

Slot-First (the default) specifies that the MAX TNT sorts by shelf and slot number, and then by item number. This setting improves system performance for MP and MP+ calls by concentrating the channels of a call on one HDLC card.
Item-First specifies that the MAX TNT sorts by item number, then shelf, and then slot number. This setting distributes incoming calls evenly across multiple HDLC cards. Distributing calls across cards for bundled channels creates extra processing overhead.

Example: set digital-call-routing-sort-method=slot-first

In this example, the system has an HDLC card in slots 1/15 and 9/2. The system creates the following call-routing database after a reset:

admin> callroute -a 

1:15:01/1   0 0:00:00/0  digital-call-type  0  0 

1:15:01/2   0 0:00:00/0  digital-call-type  0  0 

1:15:01/3   0 0:00:00/0  digital-call-type  0  0 

. 

. 

. 

1:15:01/32  0 0:00:00/0  digital-call-type  0  0

The calls are concentrated on one HDLC card.

Location: System

Direct

Description: Specifies whether PPP negotiation is initiated immediately after an interactive user enters the PPP command in the terminal-server interface.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is No.

Yes enables direct PPP negotiation.
No specifies that the terminal server waits to receive a PPP packet before beginning PPP negotiation.

Example: set direct=no

Dependencies: If terminal services are disabled, Direct does not apply.

Location: Terminal-Server > PPP-Mode-Configuration

Direct-Access

Description: Enables or disables the direct-access dialout feature.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is No.

Yes specifies that a user can access a modem for direct-access dialout service by initiating a Telnet session on the port specified by Port-For-Direct-Access.
No disables the direct-access dialout feature.

Example: set direct-access=yes

Dependencies: If terminal services are disabled, Direct-Access does not apply.

Location: Terminal-Server > Dialout-Configuration

Directed-Broadcast-Allowed

Description: Specifies whether the MAX TNT forwards directed broadcast traffic onto the interface and its network.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is Yes.

Yes specifies that the MAX TNT forwards directed broadcast traffic onto the interface and its network.
No specifies that the MAX TNT drops directed broadcast traffic, preventing it from propagating onto intermediary networks.

Example: set directed-broadcast-allowed=no

Dependencies: To protect all of the LAN interfaces against Denial of Services (DoS) attacks that use directed broadcast traffic, you must set Directed-Broadcast-Allowed=No in all IP-Interface profiles.

Location: IP-Interface {{shelf-N slot-N N} N}

See Also: ICMP-Reply-Directed-Bcast

Disconnect-On-Auth-Timeout

Description: Instructs the MAX TNT to disconnect a PPP connection if it times out while waiting for RADIUS authentication.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is No.

Yes causes the MAX TNT to hang up a PPP connection upon a RADIUS timeout.
No causes the MAX TNT to shut down cleanly after a RADIUS timeout.

Example: set disconnect-on-auth-timeout=yes

Location: Answer-Defaults > PPP-Answer

See Also: PPP, PPP-Answer

DLCI

Description: Specifies a Data Link Connection Indicator (DLCI) number for a Frame Relay gateway or circuit connection. A DLCI is not an address, but a local label that identifies a logical link between a device and the Frame Relay switch. The switch uses the DLCI to route frames through the network, and the DLCI can change as frames are passed through multiple switches.

When the MAX TNT receives an incoming PPP call, it examines the destination address, and brings up the appropriate Connection profile for the destination, as usual. If the Connection profile specifies Frame Relay encapsulation, a Frame Relay profile, and a DLCI, the MAX TNT encapsulates the packets in Frame Relay (RFC 1490) and forwards the data stream out to the Frame Relay switch by means of the specified DLCI.

Usage: Specify an integer from 16 to 991. The default is 16. Ask your Frame Relay network administrator for the value you should enter.

Example: set dlci=17

Dependencies: If FR-Direct-Enabled=Yes, DLCI does not apply. It applies only to gateway or circuit connections.

Location: Connection station > FR-Options

DNS-List-Attempt

Description: Specifies whether the MAX TNT returns multiple addresses for a host when DNS responds with more than one address.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is No.

Yes specifies that the MAX TNT returns the number of addresses it finds for the host, up to the limit specified by DNS-List-Size. The new addresses are stored in the DNS table in RAM, overwriting the configured addresses or the addresses received from earlier DNS queries. To prevent stale entries in the table in RAM, the system clears the number of addresses over the amount specified by DNS-List-Size.
No specifies that the MAX TNT returns only one address from any successful DNS query. In the local DNS table in RAM, the returned address is stored and the remaining 34 addresses are cleared and set to null.

Dependencies: If Telnet and immediate Telnet are both disabled, DNS-List-Attempt does not apply.

Example: An administrator configures 8 hostnames with null addresses and then sets Auto-Update to Yes. The DNS-Local-Table changes are propagated to RAM, and successful DNS queries to the specified hostnames will build the table with up to 14 addresses for each of the hosts.

DNS-List-Size

Description: Specifies the maximum number of hosts listed in response to a DNS query. Users logging in through Telnet or immediate Telnet see a list containing up to the specified number of hosts. The DNS list can come from either a DNS server or a local DNS table.

Usage: Enter a number from 0 to 35. The default is 6.

Example: set dns-list-size=10

Location: IP-Global

DNS-Local-Table

Description: A subprofile that enables you to configure a local DNS table of up to eight hostnames and their IP addresses. At system startup, the unit copies the values from the subprofile to the table in RAM. If you subsequently modify the DNS-Local-Table subprofile, the changes are propagated to the table in RAM when you Write the subprofile.

Note: The local DNS table has space for the number of addresses per hostname specified by the DNS-List-Size setting. However, the DNS-Local-Table subprofile allows only a single IP address per hostname.

Usage: With IP-Global as the working profile, list the DNS-Local-Table subprofile. For example:

admin> list dns-local-table

enabled=no

auto-update=no

table-config=[ { "" 0.0.0.0 } { "" 0.0.0.0 } { "" 0.0.0.0 } +

You can then use the Set command to modify the settings in the subprofile. To close the subprofile and return to a higher context in the working profile:

admin> list ..

Dependencies: If you modify the DNS-Local-Table subprofile, assigning a single address to a host, the newly configured address is propagated to the table in RAM. The first address of the hostname entry is overwritten with the configured address, and all remaining addresses are cleared. If Auto-Update=Yes, the next successful DNS query overwrites the configured address and restores the multiple addresses (up to DNS-List-Size).

Example: set encoding=ami

Location: T1 {shelf-N slot-N N} > Line-Interface

End-Of-Packet-Pattern

Description: Defines a character pattern that signals the end of a packet. When the pattern matches the buffered data, the system immediately flushes the buffer by writing all data, up to and including the pattern, into TCP packets.

Usage: Specify up to 64 characters. The default is null. You can enter both ASCII characters and binary data, using the backslash (\) as an escape mechanism. For example:

To insert a literal backslash in the pattern, enter two backslash characters (\\).
To insert a 1- to 3-digit octal number, use a single backslash. (To avoid confusion between the literal ASCII characters 1 through 7 and an octal value, you can pad the octal value with leading zeroes.) For example, the pattern \015 represents a carriage return (octal 15).
To insert a 1- or 2-digit hexadecimal number in the pattern, precede the number with the pattern \x. For example, the pattern \x0D represents a carriage return (hex 0D).

Following are other special escape sequences:


Escape Sequence	Description	Value
\a	Alarm	7
\b	Backspace	8
\f	Form feed	12
\n	New line	10
\r	Carriage return	13
\t	Tab	9
\v	Vertical tab	11

Description: Specifies whether or not the MAX TNT prefragments incoming packets that have the Don't Fragment (DF) bit set, when the packets are larger than the negotiated Maximum Receive Unit (MRU).

Usage: Specify Yes or No.

Yes specifies that when the MTU-Limit setting is a nonzero value, the MAX TNT ignores the DF bit and performs the fragmentation that normally should be performed by the client. It prefragments those packets at the specified MTU-Limit size, and then adds the GRE and IP headers.
Setting the Force-Fragmentation setting to Yes causes the MAX TNT to bypass the standard MTU discovery mechanism and fragment larger packets before encapsulating them in GRE. Because this scenario changes expected behavior, it is not recommended except for ATMP interoperation with outdated client software that does not handle fragmentation properly.
No (the default) specifies that the MAX TNT does not fragment an incoming packet that has the DF bit set.

Dependencies: You must set MTU-Limit to a nonzero value for a setting of Force-Fragmentation=Yes to have any effect.

Location: ATMP

Forward

Description: Specifies the forwarding action for a filter. For a data filter, the Forward value specifies whether the MAX TNT forwards or drops packets that match the filter rules. For a call filter, the Forward value specifies whether matching packets reset the session timer or bring up a connection.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. When no filters are in use, the MAX TNT forwards all packets by default. When a filter is in use, the MAX TNT discards all packets by default.

Yes specifies that the MAX TNT forwards packets that match the filter rules.
No specifies that the MAX TNT drops packets that match the filter rules.

Location: Connection station > IP-Options

See Also: IP-Options

Ignore-Def-Route

Description: Specifies whether the MAX TNT ignores the default route when applying RIP updates to its routing table. The default route specifies a static route to another IP router, which is often a local router. When you configure the MAX TNT to ignore the default route, RIP updates do not modify the default route in the MAX TNT routing table.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is No.

Yes specifies that the MAX TNT ignores advertised default routes. Ascend recommends that you specify Yes.
No specifies that the MAX TNT can modify its default route on the basis of RIP updates.

Example: set ignore-def-route=yes

Location: IP-Global

Ignore-ICMP-Redirects

Description: Specifies whether the MAX TNT processes incoming ICMP redirect packets.

ICMP redirects are one of the oldest route-discovery mechanisms on the Internet, and one of the least secure, because they can be used to redirect packets dynamically. Most secure sites configure the MAX TNT to ignore redirect packets.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is No.

Yes causes the MAX TNT to ignore ICMP redirect packets.
No causes the MAX TNT to process ICMP redirect packets.

Example: set ignore-icmp-redirects=yes

Location: IP-Global

Index

Description: In a Call-Route profile, specifies the address of the device that should receive the call if the call information matches other settings in the same Call-Route profile. In an Error profile, indicates the internal index of the entry.

In a Call-Route profile, the Index setting contains an entry number in the following format:

{{{shelf slot port} logical-item } entry }

A 0 (zero) in any field specifies any. That is, it matches any shelf, slot, port, or item. (For more information, see the description for Interface-Address.)

In an Error profile, the Index number is an integer.

Usage: If you have only one Call-Route profile for the specified address, accept the default of 0 (zero) for the entry number. When you specify the same address in more than one Call-Route profile, you must assign a nonzero entry number to distinguish the entries from one another in the database. You can assign any number, as long as it is unique for each entry. The entry numbers do not have to be sequential.

You can use the Index setting to clone Call-Route profiles. Just read an existing profile, and change the device address. You can also create multiple entries for a device by reading an existing profile and setting a new entry number.

In an Error profile, the Index setting is read only.

Example: set index entry=1

Location: Call-Route {{{shelf-N slot-N N} N} N}, Error index

Input-IPX-SAP-Filters

Description: A subprofile that defines up to eight input filters for SAP packets. The MAX TNT applies input filters to all SAP packets received by the MAX TNT. Input filters screen advertised services and exclude them from (or include them in) the MAX TNT service table as specified by the filter conditions.

Usage: With an IPX-SAP-Filter as the working profile, use the List command to display one of the input filters for SAP packets. For example:

admin> list input 1

valid-filter=no

type-filter=exclude

server-type=00:00

server-name=""

You can then use the Set command to modify the settings in the subprofile. To close the subprofile and return to a higher context in the working profile:

Location:

IPX-SAP-Filter

Interface-Address

Description: Identifies an interface address in the following format:

{{shelf slot item} logical-item }

This format specifies the physical address and a logical item. For information about the physical address format, see the description for Physical-Address. The logical item number is 0 (zero), except when the device is further divided, such as for a channelized T1 line. For a T1 line, each channel can have its own logical item number (1-24).

Usage: In most cases, the Interface-Address value is obtained from the system. However, you can clone a profile by reading an existing one and changing its device address. To modify the value, use the List and Set commands. For example:

admin> list interface

physical-address={ shelf-1 slot-8 5 }

logical-item=0

admin> set logical-item=11

Alternatively, just use the Set command:

admin> set interface logical-item=11

IP-Add-Msg

Description: Specifies a string that precedes the IP address when a terminal-server user initiates a PPP session.

Usage: Specify a text string of up to 20 characters. The default is IP address is:

Example: set ip-add-msg="Your IP address is: "

Dependencies: If terminal services are disabled, IP-Add-Msg does not apply.

Location: Terminal-Server > Terminal-Mode-Configuration

IP-Address

Description: In an IP-Interface profile, assigns an IP address to an Ethernet interface. In a Table-Config subprofile, specifies an IP address for a local DNS table entry. In an Error profile, indicates the address or subnet from which an operator reset was requested.

Usage: In an IP-Interface profile or Table-Config subprofile, specify an IP address in dotted decimal notation. The default is 0.0.0.0. To allow the Auto-Update feature to build the local DNS table, accept the default for IP-Address in the Table-Config subprofile. In an Error profile, the IP-address setting is read only.

Example: set ip-address=10.2.3.4/24

Location: Error, IP-Global > DNS-Local-Table> Table-Config N, IP-Interface {{shelf-N slot-N N} N}

IP-Answer

Description: A subprofile containing default settings for IP calls, regardless of their encapsulation protocol.

Usage: With Answer-Defaults as the working profile, list the IP-Answer subprofile. For example:

admin> list ip-answer

enabled=yes

vj-header-prediction=yes

assign-address=yes

routing-metric=1

You can then use the Set command to modify the settings in the subprofile. To close the subprofile and return to a higher context in the working profile:

admin> list ..

IP-Direct

Description: Specifies the address to which the MAX TNT immediately directs all incoming IP traffic on the link, without consulting the IP-routing table. If you enable RIP updates in both directions, the MAX TNT forwards all RIP packets to the IP address you specify.

Usage: Specify an IP address in dotted decimal notation. The default is 0.0.0.0, which disables IP-Direct routing.

Example: set ip-direct=10.1.2.3/24

Dependencies: When you use IP-Direct routing, a remote user cannot establish a Telnet session directly to the MAX TNT.

Location: Connection station > IP-Options

IP-Filter

Description: A subprofile containing an IP filter specification. A Filter profile contains several levels of subprofiles. An IP-Filter subprofile is in an Input-Filters N or Output-Filters N subprofile.

IP-Interface

Description: A profile containing configuration options for an IP interface.

Each packet-handling slot card operates as a router subsystem with its own local interface table. The MAX TNT router card (the master shelf-controller in the current release) holds the global interface table. The interface address of an IP-Interface profile is the local address on a slot card. Each interface has its own IP address.

When the MAX TNT generates IP packets, the packets have the source address of the IP interface on which they are forwarded. If the MAX TNT receives IP packets destined for one of its IP addresses, it accepts the packets, even if they arrive on a different interface and the destination-address interface is not active.

Usage: You can specify up to 16 IP-Interface profiles for each Ethernet card. Each profile specifies a single IP address.

The MAX TNT creates a default IP-Interface profile when it first detects the presence of an Ethernet card or the shelf-controller Ethernet port. For example, for the first Ethernet port on a card in shelf 1, slot 12, the default IP-Interface profile uses the following index:

{{1 12 1} 0}

The index consists of a physical address and a logical-item number in the following format:

{{shelf slot item} logical-item}

The logical item number addresses a specific logical interface or port. The logical item number is 0 (zero), except when you configure multiple interfaces or the device supports multiple channels. For example, another IP-Interface profile for {1 12 1} might use the following index:

{{1 12 1} 1}

The logical-item numbers do not have to be consecutive, but they must be unique.

To configure more than one IP address on a local interface, create an IP-Interface profile for each unique IP address. For example, to assign the IP address 10.5.6.7 to the default IP interface:

admin> read ip-int { {1 12 1} 0}

IP-INTERFACE/{ { shelf-1 slot-12 1 } 0 } read

admin> list

interface-address*={ { shelf-1 slot-12 1 } 0 }

ip-address=0.0.0.0/0

proxy-mode=off

rip-mode=routing-off

rip2-use-multicast=yes

ospf={ no 0.0.0.0 normal 10 40 5 simple ******* 1 16777215 type-1 c0:+

multicast-allowed=no

multicast-rate-limit=100

multicast-group-leave-delay=0

directed-broadcast-allowed=yes

admin> set ip-addr=10.5.6.7

admin> write

IP-INTERFACE/{ { shelf-1 slot-12 1 } 0 } written

Then, to create a second IP-interface profile for the same physical port and assign it the address 10.9.1.212/24, you could use the New, List, and Set commands:

admin> new ip-int { {1 12 1 } 1}

IP-INTERFACE/{ { shelf-1 slot-12 1 } 1 } read

admin> list

interface-address*={ { shelf-1 slot-12 1 } 1 }

ip-address=0.0.0.0/0

proxy-mode=off

rip-mode=routing-off

rip2-use-multicast=yes

ospf={ no 0.0.0.0 normal 10 40 5 simple ******* 1 16777215 type-1 c0:+

multicast-allowed=no

multicast-rate-limit=100

multicast-group-leave-delay=0

directed-broadcast-allowed=yes

admin> set ip-addr=10.9.1.212./24

admin> write

IP-INTERFACE/{ { shelf-1 slot-12 1 } 1 } written

Dependencies: Consider the following:

For IP-Interface profiles, the default profile (with the zero logical-item number) must have an IP address configured, or none of the other IP-Interface profiles for the same port will function. Do not delete the default profile if you want your other configurations to work.
If Proxy-Mode is enabled in any of the IP-Interface profiles for a given Ethernet port, it is enabled for all ARP requests coming into the physical port.

IP-Options

Description: A subprofile containing IP-routing settings.

Usage: With a Connection profile as the working profile, list the IP-Options subprofile. For example:

admin> list ip

ip-routing-enabled=yes

vj-header-prediction=yes

remote-address=0.0.0.0/0

local-address=0.0.0.0/0

routing-metric=7

preference=100

client-dns-addr-assign=yes

client-default-gateway=0.0.0.0

route-filter=""

if-remote-address=0.0.0.0

multicast-group-leave-delay=0

You can then use the Set command to modify the settings in the subprofile. To close the subprofile and return to a higher context in the working profile:

admin> list ..

Dependencies: IP-routing calls must be enabled in the Answer-Defaults profile.

Location: Connection station

IP-Port-Cache-Enable

Description: Enables or disables card-to-card IP packet forwarding on the basis of the packet destination IP address and port.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is Yes.

Yes specifies that packets destined for the MAX TNT itself are correctly forwarded from the receiving slot card to the destination slot card, bypassing the router.
No specifies that packets destined for the MAX TNT itself are delivered to the router, and then forwarded to the modem card.

Example: set ip-port-cache-enable=no

Location: IP-Global

IP-Route

Description: A profile containing the information required by the IP router for setting up static routes. The MAX TNT passes the static routes to the router at startup, and updates the routing table whenever a route changes.

Usage: Use the Read and List commands to make IP-Route the working profile and list its contents. For example:

admin> read ip-route default

IP-ROUTE/default read

admin> list

name*=default

dest-address=0.0.0.0/0

IP-ROUTE/default written

IPRoute-Cache-Enable

Description: Enables or disables route caches.

A route cache enables a slot card to route IP packets to another slot, reducing the route-processing overhead on the shelf controller. The shelf controller is still responsible for managing routing protocols and the route caches themselves, but each slot card is able to check a small IP cache and route packets to a destination slot. When a slot card receives an IP packet for which it has no cache entry, it forwards that packet to the shelf controller, which routes it to the proper slot. The shelf controller then writes a cache entry and, using the control bus, downloads it to the route cache of each slot card.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is Yes, which is the recommended setting.

Yes enables the router on the shelf controller to offload some route processing to the slot cards.
No specifies that all route processing occurs on the shelf controller.

Example: set iproute-cache-enable=yes

Location: IP-Global

See Also: IPRoute-Cache-Size

IPRoute-Cache-Size

Description: Specifies the limit for the number of cache entries in slot-card route caches.

Usage: Specify an integer. The default is 0 (zero), which sets no limit on cache size. In general, no limit is required. But you can set one if you need to control memory usage.

Example: set iproute-cache-size=16

Location: IP-Global

See Also: IPRoute-Cache-Enable

IP-Routing-Enabled

Description: Enables or disables the routing of IP data packets for the connection.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is Yes.

Yes enables IP routing for the link. For your setting to have any effect, IP routing must be enabled on both the dialing and answering sides of the link.
No disables IP routing for the link.

Example: set ip-routing-enabled=yes

Location: Connection station > IP-Options

IPX-Answer

Description: A subprofile containing default settings for IPX calls.

Usage: With Answer-Defaults as the working profile, list the IPX-Answer subprofile. For example:

admin> list ipx-answer

enabled=yes

You can then use the Set command to modify the settings in the subprofile. To close the subprofile and return to a higher context in the working profile:

admin> list ..

Location:

Answer-Defaults

See Also: Enabled

IPX-Dialin-Pool

Description: Specifies a virtual IPX network that the MAX TNT assigns to all dial-in NetWare clients.

Dial-in clients do not belong to an IPX network. Therefore, to establish a routing connection, the MAX TNT must assign each client an IPX network number. The MAX TNT advertises the route to the virtual network and assigns it as the network address for dial-in clients.

The dial-in Netware client must accept the network number, although it can provide its own node number. If the client does not have a unique node address, the MAX TNT assigns the node address as well.

Usage: Specify an IPX network number that is unique in the IPX routing domain. The default is 00:00:00:00.

Example: set ipx-dialin-pool=00000001

Dependencies: If IPX routing is globally disabled, IPX-Dialin-Pool does not apply.

Location: IPX-Global

IPX-Filter

Description: A subprofile containing an IPX filter specification. A Filter profile contains several levels of subprofiles. An IPX-Filter subprofile is in an Input-Filters N or Output-Filters N subprofile.

Usage: When a Filter profile is the working profile, list an IPX-Filter subprofile. For example:

admin> list input 1 ipx-filter

src-net-address=00:00:00:00

dest-net-address=00:00:00:00

src-node-address=00:00:00:00:00:00

dest-node-address=00:00:00:00:00:00

src-socket=00:00

src-socket-cmp=none

dest-socket=0

dst-socket-cmp=none

You can then use the Set command to modify the settings in the subprofile. To close the subprofile and return to a higher context in the working profile:

admin> list ..

Location:

Filter filter-name > Input-Filters > Input-Filters N, 

Filter filter-name > Output-Filters > Output-Filters N

IPX-Frame

Description: Specifies the type of packet frame the MAX TNT will route on an Ethernet connection.

Usage: Specify one of the following values:

None (the default) disables IPX-specific features. If you choose this setting, the MAX TNT can route IPX, but without automatic RIP and SAP handling.
802.2 (NetWare 3.12 or later) specifies that the IPX clients and servers on the local Ethernet cable follow the IEEE 802.2 protocol for the Media Access Control (MAC) header. The frame contains the Logical Link Control (LLC) header in addition to the MAC header.
802.3 (for NetWare 3.11 or earlier) specifies that IPX clients and servers on the local Ethernet cable follow the IEEE 802.3 protocol for the MAC header, also called Raw 802.3. The frame contains the MAC header, but not the LLC header.
SNAP specifies that the IPX clients and servers on the local Ethernet network follow the SubNetwork Access Protocol (SNAP) for the MAC header. This specification includes the IEEE 802.3 protocol format plus additional information in the MAC header.
Enet-II specifies that IPX clients and servers on the local Ethernet network follow the Ethernet II protocol for the MAC header.

Example: set ipx-frame=802.2

Dependencies: Consider the following:

If the MAX TNT does not route IPX on the specified interface, or if IPX routing is globally disabled, IPX-Frame does not apply.
The MAX TNT routes only the IPX frame type specified by IPX-Frame. If a NetWare server transmits IPX in a different frame type, the MAX TNT drops the packets.

Location:

IPX-Interface {shelf-N slot-N N}

IPX-Global

Description: A profile that contains global settings for IPX.

Usage: Use the Read and List commands to make IPX-Global the working profile and list its contents. For example:

You can then use the Set command to modify the settings in the profile. To close the profile and save your changes:

admin> write

IPX-GLOBAL written

IPX-Header-Compression

Description: Specifies whether the MAX TNT should use IPX header compression on the connection if the encapsulation method in use supports it.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is No.

Yes specifies that the MAX TNT should use IPX header compression if the encapsulation method supports it.
No specifies that the MAX TNT should not use IPX header compression.

Example: set ipx-header-compression=yes

Dependencies: If the MAX TNT does not route IPX on the connection, or if IPX routing is globally disabled, IPX-Header-Compression does not apply.

Location: Connection station > IPX-Options

IPX-Interface

Description: A profile that contains configuration options for an IPX interface.

Usage: Use the Read and List commands to make IPX-Interface the working profile and list its contents. For example:

ipx-sap-filter-name=""

You can then use the Set command to modify the settings in the profile. To close the profile and save your changes:

admin> write

IPX-INTERFACE written

IPX-Net-Number

Description: Specifies the IPX network number of the remote router.

Usage: Specify the IPX network number of the remote device only when the router requires that the MAX TNT know its network number before connecting. If you specify a value for IPX-Net-Number, the MAX TNT creates a static route to the device. In addition, the MAX TNT becomes a seed router, and other routers can learn the IPX network number from the MAX TNT.

If there are other NetWare routers on the LAN interface, the IPX number assigned to the MAX TNT for that interface must be consistent with the number in use by the other routers. The best way to ensure consistency is to accept the default null address for IPX-Net-Number. The null address causes the MAX TNT to learn its network number from another router on the interface, or from the RIP packets received from the local IPX server.

The default of 00000000 is appropriate for most installations. If you accept the default, the MAX TNT does not advertise the route until it makes a connection to the remote network.

Dependencies: If the MAX TNT does not route IPX on the specified interface, or if IPX routing is globally disabled, IPX-Net-Number does not apply.

Location: IPX-Interface {shelf-N slot-N N}

IPX-Options

Description: A subprofile containing settings for IPX routing.

Usage: With a Connection profile as the working profile, list the IPX-Options subprofile. For example:

You can then use the Set command to modify the settings in the profile. To close the profile and save your changes:

admin> write

IPX-ROUTE/default written

IPX-Routing-Enabled

Description: Enables or disables the routing of IPX data packets, as follows:

In the IPX-Global profile, IPX-Routing-Enabled controls IPX routing for the entire system. When you write the profile, the MAX TNT comes up in IPX-routing mode. At that time, it creates an IPX-Interface profile for each installed Ethernet port.
In the IPX-Interface profile, IPX-Routing-Enabled controls IPX routing for the particular interface. To enable the MAX TNT to route IPX on an Ethernet interface, you must set both the IPX-Routing-Enabled and IPX-Frame values.
In the IPX-Options subprofile of the Connection profile, IPX-Routing-Enabled controls IPX routing for a particular connection.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is No.

Yes enables IPX routing.
No disables IPX routing.

Example: set ipx-routing-enabled=yes

Dependencies: Consider the following:

IPX routing must be enabled on both the dialing and answering sides of the link.
