Managing PNNI Routes
The following example sets the deroute delay to 20 seconds and uses the dsppnportloscallrel command
to verify the configuration change:
PXM1E_SJ.7.PXM.a > cnfpnportloscallrel 7:2.10:10 yes -delay 30
PXM1E_SJ.7.PXM.a > dsppnportloscallrel 7:2.10:10
Deroute Delay: 30 seconds

Improving and Managing Rerouting Performance
The following sections provide some guidelines for improving and managing rerouting performance for
the following network configurations:
• Pure PXM45/C Networks
• Hybrid Networks with PXM45/C and PXM45/B
• Pure PXM45/B Networks Running Version 3.0.10 or Later
• Hybrid Networks with PXM45/C and PXM45/A
Pure PXM45/C Networks
To improve rerouting performance in a pure PXM45/C based network, Cisco recommends entering the
following commands on the active PXM45/C in each switch:
• cnfnodalcongth -setuphi 1200
• cnfnodalcongth -connpendhi 2400 -connpendlo 2000
• cnfnodalcongth -incompjour 30
To improve rerouting over specific NNI links, enter the following PXM45 commands at both ends of
each link:
• cnfintfcongth <physical port> -setuphi 500
• cnfpnctlvc <physical port> sscop -scr 3000
Note These parameters are recommended only for the PXM45/C cards and not for the PXM45, PXM45/B or
PXM1E cards.
Hybrid Networks with PXM45/C and PXM45/B
If the recommended settings for a pure PXM45/C network are used in a network that contains PXM45/B
cards, the PXM45/B nodes can experience CLI lockout as a result of the volume of connections set up
by the PXM45/C cards. CLI lockout is a condition where switch response to CLI commands is very slow
because the switch is overloaded with other tasks.
For hybrid networks with PXM45/C and PXM45/B nodes, consider upgrading the PXM45/B nodes or
limit the performance of the PXM45/C nodes to that of the PXM45/B nodes.
