Compressed SLIP
Compressed SLIPIntroduction
The access server has the ability to enable compressed SLIP (CSLIP). Enabling CSLIP compresses the lengthy headers of IP datagrams on
Use the SET/CHANGE PORT n SLIP COMPRESSION command to enable or disable CSLIP. By default, compression is disabled. When you enable CSLIP, make sure that it is enabled at both ends of the communications link. If only one end of the link is running CSLIP, performance degrades.
Example: Enabling CSLIP
The following example shows how to enable CSLIP on port 5:
Local> CHANGE PORT 5 SLIP COMPRESSION ENABLED
Disabling CSLIPThe following example shows how to disable CSLIP on a port:
Local> CHANGE PORT 5 SLIP COMPRESSION DISABLED
Automatic CSLIPYou can enable a port to start CSLIP automatically if the port receives compressed data over an already existing SLIP session. The following example shows how to enable automatic CSLIP on a given port:
Local> CHANGE PORT 5 SLIP COMPRESSION AUTOCOMPRESS
Compression StatesYou can specify the number of connections that can be compressed over the data link at one time. The following example shows how to change the number of compression states on a port:
Local> CHANGE PORT COMPRESSION STATES 10
The default number of compression states is 16.
