CMX Timers and Counters

CMX Timers and Counters


This appendix provides descriptions of CMX timers and counters for the CMX configuration shown in Figure 5-1 and Figure 5-2:

The following rules should be used regarding timers:


Note    Set speed and duplex values on all Ethernet interfaces before configuring timers and counters to avoid auto-negotiation when the interfaces are brought up.

This section provides descriptions of the following CMX timers and counters:
