CIR Policy Setting
The CIR assigned to a Remote is equal to the Minimum Bit Rate setting, which
is determined by the local Subnet policy setting. Any Remote that has the local
policy set to 0 bps (the default) will use the global policy setting as its CIR
value. This relationship facilitates the configuration of CIR on a system-wide
basis. A local policy, if set above 0 bps, will over-ride the global policy, in
much the same manner as is used by the VMS to control switching policies.
In the example figures shown below, the global policy Minimum Bit Rate value
is set to 256 Kbps. The remote with the subnet 172.16.128.0/27 has a minimum
rate of 384 Kbps, which will be its assigned CIR.
To configure the CIR Policy settings, perform the following procedure.
1. Click on the VMS Server appearance at the top of the Tree View to display
the Service Managers in the right panel of the window.
2. Right-click on the InBand Manager and select Properties from the drop-
down menu. The window shown in figure 3-49 will open.
