Enabling or Disabling an Ethernet Interface
The router enables CSMA/CD services when you add a 10-Mb/s or 100-Mb/s
Ethernet circuit to the router configuration file.
You can disable and enable the Ethernet interface without moving physical
cabling.
Configuring BofL Messages
For carrier detection on Ethernet circuits, the router sends breath of life (BofL)
messages whenever the interface transmitter is idle. When there is no data traffic,
BofL messages signify that the Ethernet LAN is up and functioning normally.
These sections describe how to configure BofL transmissions:
• Enabling or Disabling BofL Messages
• Setting the BofL Timeout
• Setting BofL Retries
• Setting the BofL Timeout Divisor
With default values configured, the router declares an Ethernet interface down
after 25 seconds (five retries of 5 seconds each) without a successful frame
transmission.

Note: When you configure router redundancy on an Ethernet interface, Site
Manager automatically adjusts BofL parameters to reduce the time it takes the
router to declare an interface down when there is a loss of service. With default
router redundancy values configured, the router declares the interface down
after 2 seconds (four retries of .05 seconds each).
