Definition: "IE613-CableDelays.conf" is a configuration file in C/C++ programming, typically found within the .bashrc or .profile for Bash scripting environments.
The "IE613-CableDelays.conf" section represents an interface for managing cable delays in computer networks. It specifies how network devices (e.g., switchboards, routers, etc.) can handle and manage cable delay requests from clients. This configuration is important for ensuring that cable delays are handled appropriately between different components of a network.
The "IE613-CableDelays.conf" file typically contains the following sections:
1.
Network Interface:
Specifies the interface on which the cable delay should be configured.
Identifies the type of device (e.g., switchboard, router) and its port number for communication between devices.
2.
Cable Delay Request Settings:
- Defines parameters for configuring cable delays such as the cable type, distance, and timeout settings.
3.
Client Communication Settings:
Specifies options for how the client should handle cable delays, such as retrying failed requests or applying a delay based on time since last communication with the cable device.
4.
Application Error Handling:
- Configures any error handling mechanisms that will be used when cables are delayed (e.g., application-specific logging).
5.
Error Reporting and Logging:
Specifies how errors in this configuration should be reported to the network administrator or logged by the client applications.
6.
Cable Configuration:
- Defines configurations for cable types, such as speed limits, cable lengths, and cable type specific attributes.
7.
Network Topology Definition:
- Defines the topology between different components of a network, including how cables are routed to devices, etc.
8.
Optional Settings:
Additional settings that may be required for handling errors or special configurations.
