Chapter 36. Con®guring SDLC Relay

This chapter describes the Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC) Relay con®guration and operational commands.

For further information on when to use DLSw SDLC versus SDLC Relay, refer to ªRelationship to the SDLC Relay Functionº in the ªUsing and Con®guring DLSwº chapter of Protocol Con®guration and Monitoring Reference Volume 1.

The chapter includes the following sections:

vªBasic Con®guration Procedureº

vªAccessing the SDLC Relay Monitoring Environmentº on page 532

vªSDLC Relay Monitoring Commandsº on page 532

vªSDLC Relay Interfaces and the GWCON Interface Commandº on page 535

Basic Con®guration Procedure

This section outlines the minimum con®guration steps required to get the SDLC Relay protocol up and running. For further con®guration information and explanation, refer to the con®guration commands described in this chapter.

Note: You must restart the router for new con®guration changes to take effect.

vAdd a number. You must add a number to a group of primary or secondary ports using the add group command. The default number for this command is 1.

vAdd a local port. This identi®es the interface that you are using for the local port. This also assures that no IP address is con®gured for the interface that you select. Use the add local-portcommand.

vAdd a remote port. This identi®es the port directly connected to the remote side of the serial line. Use the add remote-portcommand.

Accessing the SDLC Relay Con®guration Environment

To access the SDLC relay (SRLY) con®guration environment:

1.At the Config> prompt, enter set data-link srly.

2.Enter the interface number.

3.To con®gure the SRLY interface, enter thenetwork interface# command. The SRLY interface# Config> prompt is displayed when network interface# is entered:

Config>network 2

SDLC relay interface user configuration

SRLY 1 Config>

4.To con®gure the SRLY protocol parameters, enter theprotocol sdlc command. The SDLC Relay config> prompt is displayed when protocol sdlc is entered:

Config>protocol sdlc

SDLC Relay protocol user configuration

SDLC Relay config>
