Bridging 33
T0008-16F Release 5.2M
Configuring the PathBuilder S200 Series Switch for Bridging Operation
Encapsulation Type
Range: RFC 877, RFC 1294
Default: CODEX
Description: Specify the type of encapsulation used over this LAN connection.
Encapsulation types supported include:
• CODEX: Codex Proprietary Encapsulation
• RFC 877/1356: RFC 877/1356 X.25 protocol encapsulation
for IP
• RFC 1294/1490: RFC 1294/1490 multiprotocol encapsulation
over Frame Relay
Boot Type: Changes to this parameter require a Table and Node Record boot
to take effect.
Autocall Mnemonic
Range: 0 to 8 alphanumeric characters
Default: 0 (blank)
Description: Specify the mnemonic name used when the LAN connection is
configured to autocalling. A corresponding entry must be made in
the Mnemonic Table. Ablank entry means autocalling will not be
initiated by this LAN connection entry. The LAN connector at the
remote device must initiate the call. If configured, the Autocall
Mnemonic references a remote address which will be called by the
LAN connection.
Specifically, it must equal the node address of the node to which
the remote LAN is attached (the LAN to which we want to
bridge). The LAN connection subaddress configured in the node
record is appended to this address to form the c o mplete called
address of an X.25 call.
LCON Queue Limit
Range: 0 to 65536
Default: 16000
Description: The LCON Queue Limit parameter specifies the maximum
number of bytes that are queued fo r this LAN before transmission
on the WAN link. Set this parameter for two sec onds of da ta on th e
WAN link.
