DLSw — SDLC Fast and Slow Poll Timer Defaults
If you have a router performing SDLC to LLC conversion, and you use the default
values for the SDLC parameters Fast Poll Timer and Slow Poll Timer, SDLC
controller performance is degraded. To avoid this problem, change the Fast Poll
Timer to 200 and the Slow Poll Timer to 400. Changing these settings improves
performance for both single- and dual-switch DLSw configurations in which the
router acts as an SDLC primary device. Depending on the number of SDLC
controllers you are supporting, you may need to increase or decrease the numbers
to improve controller response time and router performance.
DLSw/APPN Boundary Port Use with AS400s and Others
Do not configure any explicit APPN adjacent link stations on the DLSw/APPN
boundary (VCCT) port, unless you are certain that the adjacent link station (for
example, an AS400) will not attempt to connect to the APPN node. Otherwise, the
DLSw/APPN boundary (VCCT) function fails to operate correctly and the router
might restart.
DSQMS
The following limitations exist for DSQMS services in BayRS:
• Queue starvation can occur despite priority-time-quantum settings. Queues
with the same priority level and priority-time-quantum settings may
nevertheless experience queue starvation if one of the queues is
bandwidth-heavy.
To address this condition you can configure traffic policing for the
bandwidth-heavy traffic flow to an acceptable rate for its assigned DSQMS
Priority Queue. Configure traffic policing before the DSQMS outbound
interface to control UDP as well as TCP flows.
• DSQMS is not supported with Protocol Priority Queuing (PPQ)..
DVMRP Use with Interfaces with More than One IP Address
You cannot use the BayRS Version 15.1.0.0 implementation of Distance Vector
Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) with circuits with multinetted interfaces
(that is, interfaces with more than one IP address).
