Table 4-11. Add Logical Port: Congestion Control Tab Fields
Field Action/Description
Thresholds (56 
Byte)
•Mild
•Severe
• Absolute
• Set Default 
Threshold
Enter values for the mild, severe, and absolute threshold fields. 
To set the Mild, Severe, and Absolute threshold settings to the 
default settings, select the Set Default Threshold button.
Notes: 
Do not exceed the maximum threshold value for each card type. The 
absolute congestion threshold cannot be greater than the maximum 
value allowed for each logical port.
 If you are setting threshold parameters on a T1/E1 card, the default 
values will not appear until you set the bit stuffing and bandwidth 
allocation. See Table 4-7 on page 4-19 for more information on bit 
stuffing and bandwidth allocation.
For Channelized T1/E1 cards, if n DS0s are assigned per logical 
port, the maximum value allowed on the number of buffers is n x 225 
(T1) and n x 174 (E1).
CLLM:
• Enable
• Threshold None 
(%) (1-100)
• Threshold Mild 
(%) (1-100)
• Interval (sec) 
(5-30)
Consolidated Link Layer Management (CLLM) is a type of 
congestion control that reserves one DLCI address for transmitting 
congestion notification.
Enable – Check the box to enable CLLM on any Frame Relay UNI 
or NNI port for PVCs only.
Threshold None – Enter the threshold percentage value (1-100) of 
BECN frames received on any VC on this port. The default value is 
10.
Threshold Mild – Enter the threshold percentage value (1-100) of 
BECN frames received on any VC on this port. The value for the 
Mild Threshold must be equal to or greater than the value for the 
None Threshold. The default value is 40.
Interval – Enter the time duration in seconds (5-30) between two 
consecutive CLLM messages sent on the logical port. The CLLM 
message is sent as long as at least one VC on this logical port 
remains in a congested state. The default value is 10.
