SMDS Configuration

This section covers the settings required for SMDS (Switched Multi-megabit Data Service) operation of the V.35 WAN interfaces (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 the command line interface.

ϖNote: 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 Octal V.35-Quad 10/100 RIOP only via synchronous dedi- cated line operation.

Set Dedicated connection

Set SMDS connection

TB: Use configure and then set the Mode and ConnectMode keywords in the Link Config WAN 0 (and/or any other port numbers you wish to configure) section.

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 (and/or any other port numbers you wish to configure) 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.
