STEP TWO

The second step is to choose a data-link protocol in the Encapsulation Menu. There are many encapsulation options on this interface.

For synchronous communication:

Frame Relay: the Frame Relay Protocol is based on frame switching and constructs a permanent virtual circuit (PVC) between two or more points.

X.25: The X.25 Protocol is generally used to connect to a public network. The router can act either as a DTE or a DCE.

HDLC: A proprietary alternative to PPP.

For synchronous or asynchronous communication:

PPP: The PPP (Point-to-Point) protocol is used for leased and dial-up lines. Multilink PPP is also provided.

Information on how to determine the values of the parameters for each data-link protocol is provided in chapter 8.

STEP THREE

The third step is to set the Network Protocol parameters. Information for this step is provided in chapter 7.
