Setting the Inactivity Mode
The inactivity mode measures data inactivity for a specific direction across a line.
Specifically, it lets you decide in which direction the router determines inactivity.
Together with the inactivity time parameter, this parameter informs the router to
deactivate the connection if there is no data going in the specified direction.
You can set the inactivity mode using the BCC or Site Manager.
Using the BCC
To configure the inactivity-mode parameter, navigate to the demand-circuit
prompt and enter:
inactivity-mode <
mode
>
mode
can be:
both-direction
- If the router does not receive data and does not transmit data, it
terminates the connection. The inactivity has to be in both directions. This is the
default value.
transmit-only
- If there is no data to transmit, the router terminates the
connection. The router disregards data it receives. Select this option if you are
using dial-optimized routing for IPX.
receive-only
- If the router does not receive data, it terminates the connection.
either-direction
- If the router does not receive or transmit data, it terminates the
connection. The inactivity can be in either direction.
For example, to set the inactivity-mode for the circuit to-phoenix, enter:
demand-circuit/to-phoenix#
inactivity-mode receive-only
Note:
The router does not consider the following as data, so it does not
consider them when determining inactivity: PPP LQR, LCP, and periodic
CHAP messages, frame relay DLCMI, and other signaling messages.
