The Operator Console options enable you to monitor and control operational LE services. These options modify the current LE services and take effect immediately. They do not modify the static memory of the router and are lost on the next reload of the MSS Server.
You can dynamically set the BUS-Monitor time between samples. This is the number of minutes between the start of one BUS Monitor duration of sample and the start of the next duration of sample. Time between samples is the time during which the BUS Monitor waits before taking another sample, as compared to the duration of sample, which is the time during which samples are taken. The value of time between samples must be greater than the BUS-Monitor Duration of Sample.
This option, like other Operator Console options, must be used for a LES-BUS that already exists. You must use the options in Router Configuration to create the LES-BUS, then Write the configuration, and Reload the Gateway to create a LES-BUS.
Time between samples:
Valid values: 1 to 120
The value of time between samples must be greater than the BUS-Monitor Duration of Sample.
Default value: 30
To change the sample interval, enter the number of minutes and then select the Submit button.

Top number of MACs:
Valid values: An integer number between 1 and 100
Default value: 10
To set the top number, enter the number and then select the Submit button.
The Operator Console options enable you to monitor and control operational LE services. These options modify the current LE services and take effect immediately. They do not modify the static memory of the router and are lost on the next reload of the MSS Server. If you wish to change permanently the configured state in Static RAM, you should use the Router Configuration branch.
The redundancy role is primary for the LES-BUS that is running and backup for the LES-BUS that will take over in case of the failure of the primary LES-BUS. If the backup LES-BUS takes over from the primary and the primary restarts and becomes active, all clients joined to the backup will be discarded. Those clients will then have to rejoin the primary LES-BUS.
This option, like other Operator Console options, must be used for a LES-BUS that already exists. You must use the options in Router Configuration to create the LES-BUS, then Write the configuration, and Reload the Gateway to create a LES-BUS.
LES-BUS role:
Valid values: Primary LES-BUS or Backup LES-BUS
If primary is selected, you must also enter the ATM address for the backup LES-BUS.
Default value: Backup for a primary and primary for a backup
To enable redundancy, select the redundancy role from the list of choices and then select the Submit button.
The Operator Console options enable you to monitor and control operational LE services. These options modify the current LE services and take effect immediately. They do not modify the static memory of the router and are lost on the next reload of the MSS Server.

This parameter maps to the S5 parameter in the ATM Forum LAN Emulation Over ATM Specification.
Frame age:
Valid values: An integer from 1 to 4
Default value 1
To set the frame age, enter the age value and then select the Submit button.

Use the Set Security option to dynamically set Security. This parameter enables LECS validation of joins. If enabled, the LES-BUS communicates with the LECS across the LES-LECS Security Interface in order to validate each LE Client's request to join the ELAN. (The LES-LECS Security Interface for this ATM Interface must be enabled.)
To enable security, select Enable Security and then select the Submit button.

Use the Set Trace Mask option to dynamically set the trace filter mask for an ATM address. For each VCC, if the ATM address of the entity at the other end of the VCC matches the ATM-address-value on all bits set by the ATM-address-mask, then packet tracing can be performed on that VCC. For packet tracing to occur, enable it in the ELS subsystem using the Operator Console ELS Set Trace On option. To trace all frames on a VCC, set the mask to all zeroes with the trace value also set to all zeroes.
For example, a trace value of:
39......991055......5501and an trace mask of:
FF..........FF01will cause tracing of frames with ATM address:
39......991055......5503and will not trace frames with ATM address:
39......991055......5504
Trace mask:
Valid values: Any 20 hexadecimal bytes that are not an actual ATM address
Default value: FF.FF.FF.FF.FF.FF.FF.FF.FF.FF.FF.FF.FF.FF.FF.FF.FF.FF.FF.FF
This setting prevents tracing of frames.
To set the trace mask, enter the trace mask value and then select the Submit button.
