Con®guring SDLC Interfaces

Refer to ªChapter 1. Getting Startedº on page 3 for information related to the con®guration environment.

SDLC Con®guration Commands

The SDLC con®guration commands allow you to create or modify the SDLC

interface con®guration. This section summarizes and describes the commands you can issue from the SDLC Config> prompt within the network con®guration console.

Defaults for any command and its parameters are displayed on the console, they are enclosed in brackets immediately following the prompt.

Note: In addition to con®guring SDLC using the commands described in this chapter, you also need to con®gure SDLC in the DLSw or APPN protocol.

2210 supports SDLC connections over RS-232, X.21, and V.35 serial interfaces. Table 69 lists SDLC con®guration commands and their function.

Add

Use the add command to add an end station. The router is, by default the primary end station. If you do not use this command and if you con®gured an SDLC station in DLSw or in APPN, the end station is added for you. The software assigns the following defaults to the station:

vMaximum BTU is maximum allowable by the interface

vTx and Rx Windows are 7 for MOD 8, 127 for MOD 128

If the defaults are satisfactory, you do not need to add SDLC station.

Syntax:

 

add

station

Example:

add station

Enter station address (in hex) [C3]?

Enter station name [SDLC_C3]?

Include station in group poll list ([Yes] or No):

Enter max packet size [2009]?

Enter receive window [7]?

Enter transmit window [7]?

Enter station address

The station's SDLC address in the range 01 - FE.
