WSX Self-Configuration and Virtual Circuits
The following diagram summarizes the self-configuration features of the
WSX
. This example
assumes no configuration parameters are entered for the
WSX
. Default bridging is set up on
Group 1, and no Routing or Trunking are configured.
WSX Initial Port and Virtual Circuit Configuration
After mapping virtual circuits to virtual ports, the
WSX
is ready to send data.
STATUS ENQUI-
RIES
are repeated periodically by the
WSX
. The intervals between
STATUS ENQUIRES
can be
configured through software. See
Setting Configuration Parameters
on page 29-22 for infor-
mation on setting these parameters.

WSX
Cable plugs into
WSX
serial port.
Board senses cable type
and adjusts circuitry.
The
WSX
sends
STATUS ENQUIRY
message to Frame Relay network.
This message requests the DLCIs of
all virtual circuits and the active/
inactive status of the those VCs.
The Frame Relay network returns a
STATUS
message that includes
DLCIs
for all VCs on this physical port and
whether the VCs are active, inac-
tive, or deleted.
WSX
maps each
DLCI
(virtual circuit)
to a virtual port within the switch. In
addition, all of these virtual ports are
assigned to default
VLAN 1
.
