Dynamically Changing VC Weight and Watermark Values
Default High and Low Watermark Values
The high and low watermark settings define the depth of the PVC interface queue on the line card.
Table 15-3 on page 15-25
lists the default high and low watermark values for ATM variable bit rate
(VBR) VCs, based on the ATM VC rate.
Table 15-4 on page 15-25
lists the default high and low watermark values for ATM unspecified bit rate
(UBR) VCs, based on the ATM VC rate.
For more information about high and low watermarks, see the
“Guidelines for Changing Watermark
Values” section on page 15-26
and the
“Modifying the VC Weight and the VP Shaping Parameters”
section on page 15-27
.
High and Low Watermark Threshold Behavior
The behavior of the high and low watermark thresholds depends on the queuing mode configured, either
atm pxf queuing or no atm pxf queuing mode.
Chapter 15, “Oversubscribing Physical and Virtual Links”
describes threshold behavior for each of these queuing modes. For more information, see the
“High
Watermark and Low Watermark Default Values” section on page 15-25
.
Restrictions and Limitations for VC Weight and Watermarks
•
You must configure the AV pairs for both the high and low watermarks. Configuring only one of the
AV pairs results in the watermark not being configured.
•
The router does not support RADIUS Pull for automatically provisioned VCs and virtual path (VP)
tunnels.
Configuring Dynamic VC Weights and Watermarks
To configure dynamic VC weights and watermarks on a PVC, perform the following required
configuration tasks:
•
Configuring the Router for Dynamic VC Weights and Watermarks, page 17-21
•
