[AllocScheme] 

Administrator

Modifies the CAC parameter scheme used for bandwidth 
calculation. Three different levels can be set for each port.

LIBERAL: More calls are admitted. These 
can total up to 4,000 VCs per switch with 
aggressive allocation of bandwidth, 
reserving less bandwidth for each 
connection.

MODERATE: A moderate allocation is a 
balance between the number of calls versus 
the bandwidth for each connection. 
Moderate allocation admits fewer calls and 
more bandwidth per call than a liberal 
setting.

CONSERVATIVE: A conservative 
allocation allocates more bandwidth for 
each connection. Conservative allocation 
admits fewer calls and more bandwidth per 
call than a moderate setting. 

[PortNumber] <portnumber>

All

Displays the CAC parameter scheme used for bandwidth 
calculation.
