Frame Relay DLCI
This dialog box initially displays a single default DLCI that is mapped to a default IP Address, STP
WAN Number, with a CIR setting of 56K, a Be value of zero, and the Mode set to “Adhere to CIR.”
To manually add a new DLCI Number, enter the number in the DLCI field; leading zeros are not
required. When you click the Add button, the new DLCI appears in the list of Configured CLCI’s, and
when you select the new DLCI in the list, its CIR and Be values are displayed in the Settings group.
You can now map the new DLCI to a protocol stack and frame relay parameters (i.e., CIR, Be, and
mode). To map a DLCI to a protocol stack, highlight the DLCI number in the list of Configured DLCI’s;
the Protocol Stacks Mapped group becomes active. Click the protocol stack you want to use, then
click the down arrow to open the drop-down list for that protocol. The address/network numbers for
the protocol are displayed. Choose the address/network number you wish to map to the new DLCI.
Mode and CIR/Be settings are used to avoid possible loss of data. Mode settings determine how the
RouteFinder handles congestion. The Mode selects whether the RouteFinder should use its own
throughput calculations to avoid congestion, or simply send data to the network as fast as possible.
The RouteFinder calculates throughput after every CIR Measurement Interval, and can limit
throughput to either the CIR (through the setting “Adhere to CIR”) or the CIR plus the BE (Adhere to
CIR+Be).
