Preface

When To Use This Guide

Part I of this guide provides an alphabetical listing of Configuration Editor

parameters and their descriptions, grouped according to their corresponding

entries in the Configuration Menu of the Configuration Editor.

Refer to Part I when you need information on a parameter in order to better

understand how to use it in your router’s configuration.

Part II of this guide provides detailed descriptions of the following:

The router statistics screens

The Network Command Language Interpreter (NCL) commands

The Event Log messages

The Management Information Base (MIB) variables

The Configuration Menu of the Configuration Guide

Operator’s Reference

Preface

Refer to Part II when you need to learn the meanings of features in these

areas. (To learn how to use statistics screens, NCL commands, the Event

Log, and the MIB variables, refer to the User’s Guide.)

Coverage Note This manual addresses the entire range of parameters and other soft-

ware features found in Hewlett-Packard routers, including features that

are not found on all router models. Thus, for some routers, such as the

HP Router PR (J2540), certain features described in this manual are not

available in the router. For information on the features available in your

router, refer to the release notes you received with the router or most

recent software upgrade.

Audience

This guide is intended for network mangers and other technicians who

install, configure, and manage routers.

Organization

Introduction: How To Use the Dictionary

of Configuration Parameters

Introduction

Part I is a dictionary reference of the Parameters found in the Configuration

Editor, which is accessable from the Main menu (or by using the [/] [M] hot-

key combination in Quick Configuration).

Access to the

Configuration

Editor

Accessing the Configuration Editor from the Main Menu

Operator’s Reference

Part I is divided into fourteen chapters corresponding to the options listed in

the Configuration menu:

Figure 1-1. The Configuration Menu

Operator’s Reference

To find a parameter description, turn to the chapter corresponding to the

Configuration menu option containing that parameter. Then locate the pa-

rameter by finding it in its alphabetic order. (You can also locate the parame-

ter description by using the page/parameter listing at the beginning of each

chapter.)

Within each chapter, the parameters are listed alphabetically, with descrip-

tions of their functions and associated options. For example, the following

sample of dictionary entries describes the Quality of Service and Remote Ad-

dress parameters, and include:

The parameter names

Any applicable options for parameter settings

A description of each parameter and each parameter option

Any default settings

Example of Dictionary Entries in Operator’s Reference

Quality of Service

Specifies the link-level control. It always must remain set to LLC1, the default, for

802.3, 802.5, and PPP circuits.

Default: LLC1

LLC1

Datagram service; best-effort delivery.

LLC2

Reliable service, provides link-level control that includes error detection and error

recovery by retransmission. Results in these additional parameters:

Retry Counter Retry Timer

Connect Retries Link Idle Timer

Modulus Window Size

Remote Address

Accepts a unique decimal value from 00 to 99. Be sure to reverse local and remote

address values when you configure the device at the other end of the PPP circuit.

Default: 07

Range: 00 to 99

Parameter Name

Options for the

Quality of Service

Parameter

Default Setting for Quality of Service

Selecting the LLC2 option for Quality

of Service causes these six other

parameters to appear. Their

descriptions are listed

alphabetically in this chapter.
