Chapter 38. Con®guring and Monitoring SDLC Interfaces

This chapter describes the SDLC con®guration and operational commands.

This chapter includes the following sections:

vªAccessing the SDLC Con®guration Environmentº

vªSDLC Con®guration Commandsº on page 540

vªAccessing the SDLC Monitoring Environmentº on page 549

vªSDLC Monitoring Commandsº on page 550

vªSDLC Interfaces and the GWCON Interface Commandº on page 557

vªStatistics Displayed for SDLC Interfacesº on page 557

Changes made at the con®guration command console SDLC( CONFIG>) become part of the SRAM con®guration when you restart the router.

Conversely, SDLC monitoring commands entered within the SDLC monitoring process take effect immediately. However, changes made with monitoring commands do not become part of the router's static con®guration. When the router is restarted, the effects of the monitoring commands are overwritten by the router's static con®guration. Monitoring consists of these actions:

vMonitoring the protocols and network interfaces that are currently in use by the router

vMaking real-time changes to the SDLC con®guration without permanently affecting the SRAM con®guration

vDisplaying ELS (Event Logging System) messages relating to router activities and performance

Accessing the SDLC Con®guration Environment

Use the CONFIG process to change the con®guration of the router. The new con®guration takes effect when the router is restarted.

To enter the con®guration process:

1.Enter talk 6 (or t 6), at the OPCON (*) prompt. This brings you to the CONFIG> prompt as shown in the following example:

MOS Operator Control

*talk 6

CONFIG>

If the CONFIG> prompt does not appear immediately, press the Enter key again.

All SDLC con®guration commands are entered at theSDLC config> prompt.

2.At the Config> prompt, enter the set data-link sdlc command. When prompted, enter the name of the interface to associate with the SDLC device.

Config>set data-link sdlc

Interface number [0]? 2

Config>

3.Next, enter the network command, plus the number of an SDLC interface that you entered earlier.

Config>network 2

SDLC 2 Config>
