Con®guring and Monitoring SDLC Relay

 

 

 

A DTE cable is used when you are attaching the router to some type of

 

 

 

DCE device (for example, a modem or a DSU/CSU).

 

 

 

A DCE cable is used when the router is acting as the DCE and providing

 

 

 

the clocking for direct attachment.

 

 

clocking internal or external

 

 

 

Con®gures the SRLY link's clocking. To connect to a modem or DSU,

 

 

con®gure clocking as external. To connect directly to another DTE device,

 

 

use a DCE cable, set the clocking to internal, and con®gure the clock

 

 

speed. For internal clocking, you must enter a valid line speed in the range

 

 

2400 - 2048000 bits per second.

 

 

 

Example:

 

 

 

 

set clocking internal

 

 

encoding nrz or nrzi

 

 

 

 

Con®gures the SRLY interface's encoding scheme as NRZ (Non-Return to

 

 

 

Zero) or NRZI (Non-Return to Zero Inverted). NRZ is the default.

 

 

 

Example:

 

 

 

 

 

set encoding nrz

 

 

frame-size

 

 

 

 

Con®gures the maximum size of the frames that can be transmitted and

 

 

 

received on the data link. If this value is set to a larger value than that

 

 

 

speci®ed with the add remote-secondary command, then this value is

 

 

 

changed to re¯ect that maximum. The IBM 2210 generates an ELS

 

 

 

message warning the user that this value is changing. The user will

 

 

 

continue receiving this ELS message until it is changed in the SRAM

 

 

 

con®guration. Valid entries are shown in Table 67.

 

 

 

Note: The frame size must be large enough to accommodate the largest

 

 

 

 

frame received plus a 15±byte SRLY header.

idle ¯ag

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Con®gures the transmit idle state for framing on the SRLY interface. The

 

 

 

default is the ¯ag option which provides continuous ¯ags (7E hex) between

 

 

 

frames.

 

 

 

 

The link will receive a ¯ag idle transparently.

 

 

idle mark

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Con®gures the transmit idle state for framing on the SRLY interface. The

 

 

 

mark option puts the line in a marking state (OFF, 1) between frames.

 

 

 

The link will receive a mark idle transparently.

 

speed

For internal clocking, this command speci®es the speed of the transmit and

 

 

receive clock lines. The range of speeds supported is 2400 - 2048000 bits

 

 

per second. If you want to use a line speed greater than 2048000, you can

 

 

only do this on:

 

 

 

v

interface 1.

 

 

 

v port 1 of a 4-port WAN concentration adapter.

 

 

 

v ports 1 and 5 of an 8-port WAN concentration adapter.
