Setting the Token Rotation Time
You can set the FDDI token rotation time to control ring scheduling during normal operation and to
detect and recover from serious ring error situations. To do so, use the following command in interface
configuration mode:
The FDDI standard restricts the allowed time to be greater than 4000 microseconds and less than
165,000 microseconds. As defined in the X3T9.5 specification, the value remaining in the token rotation
timer (TRT) is loaded into the token holding timer (THT). Combining the values of these two timers
provides the means to determine the amount of bandwidth available for subsequent transmissions.
Setting the Transmission Valid Timer
You can set the transmission timer to recover from a transient ring error by using the following command
in interface configuration mode:
Controlling the Transmission Timer
You can set the FDDI control transmission timer to control the FDDI TL-Min time, which is the
minimum time to transmit a Physical Sublayer or PHY line state before advancing to the next Physical
Connection Management or PCM state as defined by the X3T9.5 specification. To do so, use the
following command in interface configuration mode:
Modifying the C-Min Timer
You can modify the C-Min timer on the PCM from its default value of 1600 microseconds by using the
following command in interface configuration mode:
Command Purpose
fddi token-rotation-time microseconds
Sets the FDDI token rotation time.
Command Purpose
fddi valid-transmission-time microseconds
Sets the FDDI valid transmission timer.
Command Purpose
fddi tl-min-time microseconds
Sets the FDDI control transmission timer.
Command Purpose
fddi c-min microseconds
Sets the C-Min timer on the PCM.
