Chapter 10 Configuring LRE
Configuring LRE Ports
The margin range for link qualification is from 1 to 10 dB. The recommended value in a low-noise
environment is 2 dB. The recommended value for medium noise environment is 4 dB. The recommended
value in a high noise environment is 6 dB.
If a profile has a theoretical minimum of 25 dB and you configure a margin of 3 dB, when the link is
established, the SNR should at the least be 28 dB to indicate a successful link. If a link is established
and if the SNR value at link time is 27 dB, the link is advertised as down, and the next profile in the
sequence is attempted. If you configure a margin of 0 (the default value), IOS does not check for the
SNR value when the link is established.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to assign a margin to a specific LRE port:
