Set X.25 TCP/IP Header Compression
The AI2524 supports RFC 1144 TC P/IP header compression (THC)
on serial lines using HDLC and X.25 encapsulation. THC encapsula-
tion is different from other encapsulation traffic. The implementation
of compressed TCP over X.25 uses one virtual circuit to pass t he com-
pressed packets. Any IP traffic (including standard TCP) is separate
from TCH traffic; it is carried over separate IP encapsulation virtual
circuits or identified separately in a multiprotocol virtual circuit.
Note: If you specify both ip and compressedtcp in the same
x25 map compressedtcp command, they must both
specify the same IP address.
In interface configuration mode, set up a separate virtual circuit for
X.25 TCP/IP header compression:
x25 map compressedtcp
ip-address
[
protocol2
address2
[...[protocol9 address9 ]]]
x121-
address
[
option
]
Configure X.25 Bridging
The AI2524 transparent bridging software supports bridging ove
X.25 virtual circuits. Bridging is not supported for RFC 1356 opera-
tion. Bridge maps must include the broadcast option for correct oper-
ation.
In interface configuration mode, enable the X.25 bridging capability:
x25 map bridge
x121-address
broadcast
[
option
