Parameter: DLSw Virtual Ring ID
Default: None
Options: Any valid, unassigned ring number from 1 to 4095
(0x001 to 0xFFF) in
hexadecimal format
Function: Specifies a standard ring number that SRB uses to identify traffic that
DLSw places on the SRB LAN. This ring number is the first entry in the
packet’s routing information field (RIF).
Instructions: The ring number must be unique within the network. However, all Bay
Networks routers on the network can use the same value. The number
must be
• Unique among any other ring IDs, group LAN IDs, or internal LAN
IDs assigned in the network
• The same as the virtual ring number used by all other DLSw peers on
the same TCP/IP network
Entering a hexadecimal value for this mandatory parameter prepares the
router for DLSw services on Token Ring/802.5 circuits. (Enter a value
even if you are presently configuring DLSw services on Ethernet/802.3
circuits only.) Bay Networks recommends the value 0xFFD if this value is
available.
MIB Object ID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.5.1.5.1.5
Note:
The DLSw Virtual Ring ID parameter provides compatibility with SRB
networks locally attached to the router. Site Manager requires you to enter a
value for the DLSw Virtual Ring ID, even if you are configuring DLSw
services on non-SRB segments locally attached to the same router.
