Configuring Your ELS100-16TX

The two Management Information Base (MIB) variables for
configuring multicast storm protection are:

kxifTxStormCnt

– specifies the maximum number of multicasts

that can be broadcast within the given time.

kxiTxStormTime

– specifies the period of time that the maximum

number of multicasts can be broadcasted.

Refer to the ELS100-16TX Release Notes for a complete listing and
description of MIB variables.

3.14 MODIFYING MIB VARIABLES

Specific instructions for controlling ELS100-16TX operations,
modifying parameters, and so on, depend on the NMS you are
using. This manual provides instructions for using LCM
commands. However, LCM commands do not exist for all
configuration options. You may need to modify your configuration
using an NMS.

This section provides several common MIB variables you may
want to change. Refer to the ELS100-16TX Release Notes for a
complete listing and description of MIB variables.

Each variable is first described in words, and is then identified in
MIB form, for example,

kxadminGetPass - {kxadmin 3}

. The Display

String line shows the range of values that can be used for the given
parameter. In each case, the DisplayString is a string of ASCII
characters.

3.15 SYSTEM CONTACT

The system contact parameter identifies the contact person who is
responsible for operating the ELS100-16TX. Typically, this
parameter includes the person’s name, company or division name,
and telephone number.

sysContact - {system 4}

DisplayString (SIZE (0..255))
