Using Site Manager
Complete the tasks in the following table to enable or disable a FDDI interface.
Enabling or Disabling BofL Messages
With BofL enabled, the router sends polling messages from this interface to all
systems on the local network. BofL messages signify that the FDDI interface is up
and functioning normally when there is no data traffic.
If the link becomes unavailable and both this parameter and the LLC Data Enable
parameter are enabled, the router disables the LLC interface after the time you
specify using the BofL Timeout parameter. When you set this parameter to
Disable, the router disables the Logical Link Control (LLC) interface immediately
after the link becomes unavailable.
By default, BofL messages are enabled when you add the circuit. You can disable
and reenable BofL messages on an FDDI interface.
Using the BCC
To enable BofL on a FDDI interface, access an existing FDDI line service and
enter:
bofl enable
