Con®guring and Monitoring SDLC Relay

The other WAN ports must be clocked at 64 Kbps or less.

transmit-delay value

Allows the insertion of a delay between transmitted packets. This command ensures a minimum delay between frames so that it is compatible with older, slower serial devices at the other end. This value is speci®ed as the number of ¯ag bytes that should be sent between consecutive frames. The range is 0 - 15. The default is 0.

Accessing the SDLC Relay Monitoring Environment

To monitor information related to the SDLC Relay interface, access the interface monitoring process by doing the following:

1.Enter the status command to ®nd the PID for GWCON. (See page 9 for sample output of the status command.)

2.At the OPCON prompt, enter the talk command and the PID for GWCON. For example:

*talk 5

+

The GWCON prompt (+) is displayed on the console. If the prompt does not appear when you ®rst enter GWCON, pressReturn again.

3.At the GWCON prompt, enter the con®guration command to see the protocols and networks for which the router is con®gured. For example:

+ configuration

See page 130 for more sample output from the con®guration command.

4. Enter the protocol sdlc command. For example:

+prot sdlc SDLC Relay>

The SDLC Relay prompt is displayed on the console. You can then view information about the SDLC Relay ports by entering the SDLC Relay monitoring commands.

SDLC Relay Monitoring Commands

This section summarizes and then explains the SDLC Relay monitoring commands.

The SDLC Relay monitoring commands allow you to view parameters for interfaces transmitting SDLC Relay frames. The SDLC Relay> prompt is displayed for all SDLC

Relay monitoring commands. Table 68 shows the commands.
