• Configure the router to handle oversubscription of lines.
If you do not have enough lines to accommodate the number of circuits, you
can enable an oversubscription timer. This timer determines how often the
router retries a connection so it can send routing updates if the previous
attempt failed. The router keeps a list of circuits requesting connections and
tries to establish these connections when the timer expires.
To configure the oversubscription timer, you must use the Technician
Interface; you cannot do this using Site Manager. The attribute entry is
wfSwservOptsEntry.wfSwservOptsOverSubRetryTimer. The default value is
two minutes; the maximum value is 1440 minutes.
See Configuring IP Services for information about RIP and Configuring IPX
Services for information about RIP/SAP.
IP RIP Triggered Updates and Broadcast Timers
To prevent broadcast messages from keeping the demand circuit active, you can
configure the RIP broadcast timer and triggered updates.
The broadcast timer lets you configure how often the router sends routing updates
to the network. Unlike the broadcast timer, triggered updates are sent immediately
after the router detects a routing change in the network.
If you set the broadcast timer to a high value, for example, several hours, and you
enable triggered updates, you limit the frequency of broadcast traffic while
maintaining the accuracy of the routing tables. By limiting broadcast traffic, you
prevent the demand circuit from remaining active unnecessarily.
For more information about these RIP features, see Configuring IP Services.
IPX RIP and SAP Broadcast Timers
To prevent broadcast messages from keeping the demand circuit active, you can
configure RIP and SAP broadcast timers for IPX transmission. RIP and SAP
broadcast timers enable you to control how often update transmissions occur. You
can even eliminate RIP and SAP broadcasts entirely. By controlling broadcast
traffic, you can prevent the demand circuit from remaining active unnecessarily.
For more information about broadcast timers, see Configuring IPX Services.
