Chapter 36. Configuring SDLC Relay
This chapter describes the Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC) Relay
configuration and operational commands.
For further information on when to use DLSw SDLC versus SDLC Relay, refer to
“Relationship to the SDLC Relay Function” in the “Using and Configuring DLSw”
chapter of
Protocol Configuration and Monitoring Reference Volume 1
.
The chapter includes the following sections:
v“Basic Configuration Procedure”
v“Accessing the SDLC Relay Monitoring Environment” on page532
v“SDLC Relay Monitoring Commands” on page532
v“SDLC Relay Interfaces and the GWCON Interface Command” on page535
Basic Configuration Procedure
This section outlines the minimum configuration steps required to get the SDLC
Relay protocol up and running. For further configuration information and
explanation, refer to the configuration commands described in this chapter.
Note: Youmust restart the router for new configuration changes to take effect.
v

Add a number.

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

Add a local port.

This identifies the interface that you are using for the local port.
This also assures that no IP address is configured for the interface that you
select. Use the add local-port command.
v

Add a remote port.

This identifies the port directly connected to the remote side
of the serial line. Use the add remote-port command.

Accessing the SDLC Relay Configuration Environment

Toaccess the SDLC relay (SRLY) configuration environment:
1. At the Config> prompt, enter set data-link srly.
2. Enter the interface number.
3. Toconfigure the SRLY interface, enter the network
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. Toconfigure the SRLY protocol parameters, enter the protocol 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>
