Local Ack
Reflects whether the peer connection is locally
acknowledged. Local acknowledgement means
terminating the DLC connections at the router,
eliminating the requirement for link-layer
acknowledgements and keepalive messages to
flow across the WAN. In addition, because link-
layer frames are acknowledged locally, link-layer
time-outs should not occur. In general,
ciscoDlswTConnConfigLocalAck will be true
when T Domain (Page 116) is tcp, false when it is
fst, direct-Hdlc, or directFrameRelay. When
the remote-peer is configured as pass-thru, it will
not use local acknowledgement. The default value
is true.
Cost
The cost associated with the transport
connection, assigned to this conceptual row
representing a peer. If an end station can be
reached through more than one peer, the cost of
each peer will be considered when a circuit is
established. A lower cost indicates that peer will
be the preferred choice if there is more than one
path to the destination.
LF Size
The Largest Frame Size associated with the
transport connection. This is the largest size of
the INFO field (including DLC header, not
including any MAC-level or framing octets).
Possible values appear in Table 15 (Page 113).
Keep Alive Int
The amount of time between keepalive messages
on a transport connection. The keepalive
parameter refers to how often DLSw peers send
peer keep alives to each other. These periodic
messages allow DLSw to keep track of the state of
all peers. If set to zero, no keepalives are sent.
Backup
This variable indicates if this peer is defined as a
backup to an existing peer. A backup peer is used
to provide an alternate path in case an existing
peer becomes unavailable. A backup peer will not
enter the connected state until the primary peer
that it backs up becomes disconnected. True
indicates that this conceptual row is a backup
peer to a pre-existing peer, false indicates this
peer is not a backup peer. The default value is
false.
Backup T Addr
The primary peer's IP address that this entry
backs up. Valid only when
ciscoDlswTConnConfigBackup is true.
