Configuring Line Services
4-4
Parameter: BOFL
Default: Enable
Options: Enable
| Disable
Function: Enables the transmission of proprietary Breath of Life messages over a
point-to-point connection between the local router and a remote peer.
The exchange of BOFL messages provides a level of confidence in the
point-to-point connection. With BOFL enabled, the router sends periodic
keep-alive messages to the remote peer.
Instructions: Set to Enable or Disable, depending on whether you want to transmit
BOFL messages over this synchronous interface. If you enable BOFL
locally, the remote peer must also be configured to enable BOFL.
We recommend that you enable BOFL for point-to-point connections
between Bay Networks peers. However, if such a connection is
accomplished through a wide-area transport service such as Frame Relay,
X.25, or SMDS, you must disable BOFL.
MIB Object ID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.4.5.1.7
Parameter: BOFL Timeout
Default: 5 seconds
Range: 1 to 60 seconds
Function: Specifies the time between transmissions of Breath of Life messages from
this synchronous interface. Timeout will occur if five periods elapse
without both a successful frame transmission and a successful reception.
When timeout occurs, the router disables and re-enables the synchronous
line. For example, if you set this parameter to 5 seconds, the interface
must successfully transmit and receive a frame within 25 seconds.
Timeout occurs in 25 seconds.
This parameter is valid only if you set BOFL to Enable.
Instructions: Either accept the default, 5 seconds, or specify a new value.
