forwarding. This command is used to specify the virtual MAC address on the interface, thus providing source MAC address for transforming SDLC message into LLC2 message.

Please process the following configurations in the synchronous interface view.

There is no SDLC virtual MAC address by default.

Note that there are two forms of SDLC virtual MAC address: one is not followed by sdlc-address, in this form, the address to be configured is the shared VMAC address on the interface; the other is followed by adlc-address, that is, the VMAC is configured for the specified ADLC address node. When one ADLC node is configured with its own VMAC, it will use this VMAC address as the source MAC address for DLSw; if the node does not has its own VMAC, it will use the shared VMAC address, and applies its own sdlc-address as the last byte of the VMAC address, so as to differentiate between this address and other ADLC nodes.

8Configure SDLC Address

SDLC protocol permits that several virtual circuits exist in a SDLC physic link. The one end connects to the primary station and the other end connects to the secondary station. You should specify the SDLC address of each virtual circuit so as to differentiate the virtual circuit. SDLC is unbalanced mode through sharer or SDLC switch. One primary equipment can be connected with several secondary equipment and the relationship is unique. However, connection cannot be established between secondary equipment. It can ensure that communication normally operates in one group of SDLC equipment only if the addresses of secondary equipment are identified. This command is used to specify SDLC address for virtual circuit. The address is unique in a physical interface. The SDLC address configured on the synchronous interface is the de facto address of SDLC secondary station.

Please process the following configurations in the synchronous interface view.

There is no SDLC synchronous interface address by default.

SDLC addresses range from 0x01 to 0xFE. The SDLC address on a router is valid for one physical interface. That is, the SDLC addresses configured on the different interfaces can be same.

9Configure SDLC Peer Entity

This command is used to specify a next-hop MAC address on the other end for a SDLC virtual address so as to provide the destination MAC address when transforming from SDLC to LLC2. When setting up DLSw, one SDLC address should be configured with one corresponding partner. The MAC address of
