Min Thresh
The capacity value in cells per second of the
minimum value that the threshold value for
determining the significant change can take. This
minimum value is used to ensure that the
threshold for determining significant changes to
ACR does not become a very small value in cases
where product of the ACR and the proportional
multiplier is a very small number.
Min VC Avail
The minimum number of VCs that should be
available on a link before the state of the link
changes from VCs-not-available to VCs-available.
This state is propagated in the link state
information. The state changes from VCs-
available to VCs-not-available when the number
of VCs available becomes zero from a non-zero
value.
SPANS Area ID
The ID of the area in the SPANS routing hierarchy
to which this switch belongs. This number goes
into the most significant byte of the SPANS ATM
address.
SPANS Border Switch
Indicates whether this switch is configured to
operate as a SPANS-NNI Border Switch or not.
Possible values are enabled or disabled.
Switch Prefix
The default NSAP (Network Service Access Point)
prefix for this ATM switch. The NSAP prefix will be
used in the ILMI address registration message as
well as the ‘hello-indication’ SPANS-NNI message.
Switch Prefix Mask
This mask gives the number of leading bits in the
above prefix to be used to aggregate the addresses
that belong to the switch in SPANS-PNNI alias
FORE-PNNI.
Peer Group Mask
This mask gives the number of the leading bits in
the above prefix to be used to aggregate the
addresses that belong to the peer group
containing this switch in SPANS-PNNI alias
FORE-PNNI.
SPANS PNNI Border Switch
Indicates whether this switch is configured to
operate as a SPANS-PNNI Border Switch or not.
Possible values are enabled and disabled.
PGSN Reach Cost
Indicates the cost of link from border node to
PGSN.
PGSN Reach Cost Method
Indicates the method of computing cost of link
from border node to PGSN. Possible options are
user and default.
