Configuring Trunks
Working With Trunks
10. (Optional) If you plan to use the B-STDX 9000 trunk backup feature, continue 
with the instructions in “Using B-STDX 9000 Trunk Backup” on page 7-25.
11. When you finish defining the trunk attributes, choose OK to complete the trunk 
configuration. 
Enable IP 
Routing
Enable IP routing for the trunk by selecting the check box. If disabled 
(unchecked), the trunk is reserved for use by VNN. Also activates the 
Trunk IP Area ID and Type of Service (ToS) Zero Metric fields. See the 
IP Services Configuration Guide for CBX 3500, CBX 500, and 
B-STDX 9000 for more information.
Trunk IP Area 
ID
The OSPF Area ID used by IP Services. See the IP Services 
Configuration Guide for CBX 3500, CBX 500, and B-STDX 9000 for 
more information.
TOS Zero Metric 
(End 1)
Enter a value between 1 and 65535. This value specifies the type of 
service cost for Endpoint 1 of the trunk. The lowest ToS zero metric has 
the highest priority for routing.
TOS Zero Metric 
(End 2)
Enter a value between 1 and 65535. This value specifies the ToS cost 
for Endpoint 2 of the trunk. The lowest ToS zero metric has the highest 
priority for routing.
Static Delay (in 
microsec)
Represents the measured one-way delay in units of 100 microseconds. 
This measurement is taken when the trunk initializes and it is only 
updated when the trunk state changes from Down to Up. The static 
delay value is used in conjunction with the end-to-end delay routing 
metric to enable you to route circuits over trunks with the lowest 
end-to-end delay. To modify the Static Delay value, see page 7-4.
Note: Modifying the value for this attribute does not bring down the 
trunk or its associated logical port.
Dynamic Delay 
(in microsec)
Represents the measured one-way delay in units of 100 microseconds. 
This measurement is made continually on operational trunks. Under 
most conditions, the dynamic delay value will match the static delay 
value. However, if some characteristics of the underlying transmission 
media for the trunk change such that the dynamic delay changes, this 
value may differ from the static delay.
