This topic describes how to configure advanced options are related to circuit startup. Set these parameters to the same values on the local and remote CTP devices.
Before you begin:
To configure circuit startup parameters for CTP bundles using CTPView:
Table 1: CTP Bundle Advanced Options Parameter Settings for Circuit Startup in CTPView
Field | Function | Your Action |
---|---|---|
OAM Packet Spacing | Specifies the number of OAM packets per second that the circuit sends to the remote CTP device. | Enter a number from 1 through 255. |
OAM Packets for Sync | Specifies the number of OAM packets that the circuit must receive before the state moves from no synchronization to in synchronization. | Enter a number from 1 through 255. |
OAM Packets for Sync Loss | Specifies the number of received OAM packets that the CTP device misses before the state of the circuit moves from in synchronization to no synchronization. | Enter a number from 1 through 255. |
Consecutive Pkt Loss To Starvation | Specifies how many consecutive circuit packets the IP network must drop before the CTP device restarts the circuit. We recommend that you set the parameter to a larger value when the IP network uses packet-encrypting devices. These devices cause momentary interruption in packet flows when encryption keys are updated. | Enter a number from 1 to 64. |
InSync Pkts After Starvation | Specifies the number of in-sequence packets the CTP device must receive after a starvation before the circuit transitions from in-sync to running. | Enter a number from 1 to 64. |
