Configuring the WAN

The following example configures the asynchronous serial interface on NIM 2, port 0 with the following non-default values: PPP encapsulation, RS422 cabling, 57600 bps clock rate, MTU size of 1200 bytes, no parity, 7 databits and 2 stopbits. It also assigns the local IP address 192.168.1.1 to the interface. Although the XSR is not designed to be an access server, you can attach an external modem to the serial port and accept async calls as long as the modem is configured in “dumb mode” (AT commands are disabled).

XSR(config)#interface serial 2/0

XSR(config-if<S2/0>)#ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

XSR(config-if<S2/0>)#encapsulation ppp

XSR(config-if<S2/0>)#physical-layer async

XSR(config-if<S2/0>)#media-type rs422

XSR(config-if<S2/0>)#clock rate 57600

XSR(config-if<S2/0>)#ip mtu 1200

XSR(config-if<S2/0>)#parity none

XSR(config-if<S2/0>)#databits 7

XSR(config-if<S2/0>)#stopbits 2

XSR(config-if<S2/0>)#no shutdown

The following example configures the XSR to dial-out (async):

XSR(config)#interface serial 1/0

XSR(config-if<S2/0>)#encapsulation ppp

XSR(config-if<S2/0>)#physical-layer async

XSR(config-if<S2/0>)#dialer pool-member 1

XSR(config-if<S2/0>)#clock rate 57600

XSR(config-if<S2/0>)#no shutdown

XSR(config-if<S2/0>)#interface dialer1

XSR(config-if<D1>)#dialer pool 1

XSR(config-if<D1>)#dialer string 015081234567

XSR(config-if<D1>)#encapsulation ppp

XSR(config-if<D1>)#ip address 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0

XSR(config-if<D1>)#no shutdown
