Note: DLSw configuration is supported on J-series Services Routers only. |
To configure DLSw properties on a J-series Services Router, you include the following statements at the [edit protocols] hierarchy level:
-
dlsw {
-
connection-idle-timeout time;
-
explorer-wait-time seconds;
-
load-balance circuit-weight;
-
local-peer peer-address;
-
multicast-address address;
-
promiscuous;
-
reachability-cache-timeout seconds;
-
receive-initial-pacing number;
-
-
remote-peer peer-address {
-
circuit-weight weight;
-
cost cost;
- }
-
-
dlsw-cos {
-
destination-interface interface-name;
-
type-of-service number;
- }
-
-
traceoptions {
- file filename <files number> <size size> <world-readable |
no-world-readable>;
- flag flag;
