H Frame Relay Traffic Policing. Ensures proper alignment and correlation of
CIR (Committed Information Rate) values between the FrameSaver unit and
the network switch. When this feature is enabled, the unit can enforce CIR
and EIR (Excess Information Rate), marking frames that exceed CIR as DE
(Discard Eligible) using the same method used by the switch.
H RMON User History Performance Statistics via SNMP Polling. Provides
access to ESF line, physical interface, and basic frame relay performance
statistics by polling the FrameSaver unit using SNMP (Simple Network
Management Protocol). These statistics are available real-time via the
Enterprise MIB and historically as an RMON2 User History object.
H Trap Event Log. Shows the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
trap event log for the FrameSaver unit, with the most recent events first,
keeping a running total for all trap events stored, the amount of time since the
event was logged, plus a description of the trap.
H Extensive Testing Capability. Provides a variety of tests to identify
and diagnose device and network problems, including nondisruptive PVC
loopbacks and end-to-end connectivity. Tests can be commanded from the
unit’s menu-driven user interface or the OpenLane system.
These tests include V.54 or FT1-ANSI data channel loopback support so the
frame relay network service provider can perform a physical loopback from its
own switch without having to contact the local service provider for loopback
activation.
H LMI Packet Capture. Provides a way of uploading data that has been
captured in a trace file so the data can be uploaded and transferred to a
Network Associates Sniffer for analysis, or viewed via the menu-driven user
interface. When viewed from the menu-driven user interface, the 12 most
recent LMI messages are displayed.
H Service Provider Support. Provides information and tools useful to network
service providers, which includes the following:
— IP Routing Table – Shows the IP routing table for the FrameSaver unit,
with network as well as host routes, the number of hops to the
destination, the method by which the route was added to the table, the
interface used to get to the destination, and how long the route has been
in existence.
— Troubleshooting PVC – Provides a dedicated troubleshooting
management link that helps service providers isolate problems within
their network.
H Back-to-Back Operation. Allows two FrameSaver devices to be connected
via a leased-line network or for leased-line simulation so that a point-to-point
configuration can be implemented.
