Interface
The BCC uses the term interface to identify circuitry and digital logic associated
with the interconnection between a physical network medium (such as Ethernet)
and a higher-layer protocol entity (such as IP).
Parameters
A parameter is an attribute (or property) of a configurable object. Parameters can
be classified as one of the following:
•Required
• Derived
• Optional
Required
For any BCC object, required parameters are a minimum set of parameters for
which the BCC requires you to supply values. For example, the required
parameters of a physical port are
slot
and
connector
.
Derived
Derived parameters are parameters for which the BCC supplies a value. For
example, a derived parameter of the global OSPF object is
router-id
. In this case,
the BCC derives a value for router-id from the address of the first IP interface
configured on the device.
Optional
Optional parameters are parameters for which you can specify customized values,
replacing any default values set by the system. For example, an optional parameter
of an Ethernet interface is
bofl-retries
. This parameter normally has a default
value of 5 (5 retries), but you can change this to another numeric value.
Note:
A logical interface is an addressable entity for originating and
terminating connections across an IP network.
