Configuring ATM Logical Ports on Frame-based Modules
Defining ATM UNI DCE/DTE Logical Ports
Closed Loop 
Congestion Control 
Closed Loop Enabled – Enables OSPF closed loop congestion 
control to reduce the rate of excess data in the network during 
congested periods. Using OSPF the trunk’s congestion state is 
communicated to all switches in the network.
Amber Pm – Enter the reduction percentage of Be when mild 
congestion occurs. The default value is 50%.
Amber Ps – Enter the reduction percentage of Be when severe 
congestion occurs. The default value is 75%
Check Interval – (congestion state check interval) Enter an interval 
that determines the number of seconds in which the switch monitors 
the trunk’s congestion on the port. The default value is 1 second.
Bad PVC Factor
 – Enter a value between 0-32 to determine the 
threshold for “bad” PVC detection. The default value is 30.
The following example shows the relationship between the “bad” 
PVC factor and threshold.
Note: If you select simple as the rate enforcement scheme, this 
feature is disabled.
Clear Delay – (congestion state clear delay) Enter a value that 
determines the number of seconds in which the switch monitors the 
trunk’s congestion on the port. The default value is 3 seconds. 
Call Admission 
Control
Select this check box to reserve a percentage of bandwidth in the 
VBR-NRT QoS class for ILMI.
Clear the check box to (default) release the bandwidth from a 
reserved status. If the attached device cannot run ILMI, leave ILMI 
disabled. 
Note: To use line loopback diagnostics, you must disable ILMI 
support. See the Switch Diagnostics User’s Guide for CBX 3500, 
CBX 500, GX 550, and B-STDX 9000 for more information. 
CIR Policing 
An indicator for committed information rate (CIR) policing for 
Frame Relay UNI and NNI Lports only.
Enable (default) – When a circuit exceeds the established 
committed information rate (CIR), the Discard Eligible (DE) bit in 
the Frame Relay header is set on for incoming frames that exceed 
the CIR.
Disable – The DE bit is not changed for incoming frames. 
Note: Whenever the network is congested, frames with the DE bit set 
on are discarded first.
