DECnet Protocol
Required for DECnet
In order to be used, DECnet must be turned on both globally and for a particular port.
WAN interfaces which are set for Frame Relay operation do not need any additional parame-
ters set in order to function.
•
Set DECnet on (globally, and for this port)
CV: Use the DECnet Routing Dialog Box (under Global/DECnet Routing) and the DECnet:
WAN Dialog Box.
TB: Use configure and set the Mode keyword in the DECnet WAN 0 section.
v Note: Setting DECnet on for any port with the command line also sets DECnet on globally.
In CompatiView you must set a global parameter and a port-specific parameter.
SMDS Configuration
This section covers the settings required for SMDS (Switched Multi-megabit Data Service)
operation of the HSSI WAN interface (IP only). SMDS is a connectionless, packet-switched
service that offers LAN-to-LAN connectivity across a wide area at up to 1.544 Mbps. SMDS
addresses and other parameters can only be set using text-based configuration.
v Note: The IP protocol settings and the physical communication settings are the same as they
would be for Frame Relay operation. The only parameters which should be set differently for
SMDS are the Link Configuration and the SMDS addressing section.
Link Configuration
SMDS is presently supported in the HSSI-10/100 RIOP only via synchronous dedicated line
operation.
•
Set Dedicated connection
•
Set SMDS connection
TB: Use configure to set the Mode and ConnectMode keywords in the Link Config WAN 0
section.
Suggested for Dedicated/Leased Line Operation
Dedicated line operation generally does not require additional parameters for operation.
SMDS Addressing
Many of these parameters will be given to you by your service provider.
TB: Use configure and set the StationAddress, IPMulticast and PollingFrequency
keywords in the SMDS WAN 0 section.
Saving a Configuration File to Flash ROM
Once a configuration is complete, you can save it to the router’s Flash ROM. Until saved, all
changes are made in a separate buffer and the actual router interfaces continue to run as before
the changes were made.
CV: Use the Save to/Device option from the File menu.
TB: Use the save command.
