Table 8-2.

Service Level Verification Options (1 of 2)

SLV Sample Interval (secs)

Possible Settings: 15 – 3600
Default Setting: 60

Sets the inband communications interval between FrameSaver SLV units. Inband
communications are used to pass frames that calculate latency, as well as transmission
success and other SLV information.

15 – 3600 – Sets the SLV Sample Interval (secs) period in seconds (inclusive).

SLV Delivery Ratio

Possible Settings: Enable, Disable
Default Setting: Disable

Determines whether communication of Frame and Data Delivery Ratios (FDR/DDR)
between FrameSaver units is enabled. To use this capability, units at both ends of all
PVCs must be FrameSaver SLV units. If some of the units are FrameSaver 9124s or
9624s, they must be running software version 1.2 or higher.

Enable – An extra byte for FDR/DDR statistics collection is included with each frame.
These statistics are used to determine the amount of data dropped by the network. (Be
aware that increasing bandwidth used for SLV communications reduces bandwidth
available for user data).

Disable – Extra byte is not included.

DLCI Down on SLV Timeout

Available Settings:  Enable, Disable
Default Setting:  Disable

Determines whether missed SLV packets will be moniotred along with the LMI status to
determine the status of PVC connections to remote FrameSaver units.

NOTE:

This option only applies to multiplexed DLCIs.

Enable – After the configured threshold for missed SLV packets has been exceeded, an
alarm and SNMP trap are generated, a Health and Status message created, and the
DLCI’s status turns Inactive. If an ISDN DBM is installed and an alternate destination is
configured for this DLCI, backup is initiated.

Disable – Missed SLV communications will not be monitored.
