Set IPX Maximum Size of Forwarding List

This option allows you to set the maximum number of entries that BCM IPX will maintain in its forwarding list. The value of this parameter must be > the value of ipx-server-farm-threshold. This parameter sets an upper limit to the device's performance, so use caution when increasing this limit. BCM IPX's forwarding list consists of one entry for each:

Each broadcast frame managed by BCM IPX is individually transmitted to each member on the forwarding list. If the number of members ever exceeds the maximum, BCM IPX automatically shuts down, allowing BUS to forward IPX broadcasts as usual.

Enter the value of the Maximum forwarding list.

Select the Submit button.

Valid Values: 5 - 65535

Default Value: 50


Set IPX Server Farm

This parameter sets the minimum number of IPX routers and servers behind a given LEC required for BCM IPX Server Farm Detection to detect a server farm. When a server farm is detected, BCM IPX broadcasts a managed frame to each LEC representing a server farm, rather than transmitting multiple unicast frames to each device in the server farm. The value of this parameter must be <= the value specified for ipx-maximum size of forwarding list.

Valid Values: 2 - 65535

Default Value: 20

Set IPX Local Segment Number

This parameter sets the local segment identifier for token-ring ELANs.

Valid Values: 0 - X'0FFF'

Default Value: 0

Select the Submit button.


Set Multicast send Disconnect Timeout

This parameter sets the maximum number of seconds that a LEC may be connected to the LES (using Control VCCs) but not connected to the BUS (using Multicast VCCs). If a LEC remains in such a state for this amount of time, the LES must terminate the ELAN membership of the LEC.

Valid Values: 10 - 300 seconds

Default Value: 60

Select the Submit button.


Set ELAN Identifier

This parameter sets the identifier for this ELAN that is returned to LECs in a join response and is used by LECs to de-multiplex LLC-multiplexed VCCs.

Valid Values: 0 - X'FFFFFFFF'

Default Value: 0
