NODE CONFIGURATION FOR DLEP

Dynamic Link Exchange Protocol (DLEP) (advanced):

DLEP is used to transmit characteristics and metrics of the wireless network to a

connected DLEP-capable router such as the Cisco 5915. This feature is available on

all Wave Relay® versions. It supports DLEP Draft 00.

The Wave Relay® MANET operates at Layer 2 of the OSI mode. The DLEP protocol

runs between a router and its attached Wave Relay device, allowing the Wave

Relay® to communicate link characteristics as they change, and convergence events

(acquisition and loss of potential Layer 3 (L3) routing neighbors). Upon receipt of

the signal, the local router may take whatever action it deems appropriate, such

as initiating L3 discovery protocols, and/or issuing HELLO messages to converge

the network on L3. On a continuing, as-needed basis, the Wave Relay devices

utilize DLEP to report any characteristics of the link (bandwidth, latency, etc)to the

L3 router that have changed. DLEP is independent of the link type and topology

supported by the Wave Relay.

•DLEP (advanced): Enable/disable the DLEP subsystem.

•Local UDP Port (advanced): UDP port on the Wave Relay to receive DLEP trafﬁc

from the router.

•Router IP Address (advanced): Network address of the DLEP-capable router.

•Router UDP Port (advanced): UDP port on the DLEP-capable router for receiving

DLEP packets.
