Figure 1-6 IP Over X.25 Network

In Figure 1-6, AI296 is used to tunnel IP traffic through an X.25 network. AI296 can be configured to encapsulate IP packets, making it possible to achieve IP connectivity across a legacy X.25 network. The most common application for this functionality is to transport SNMP management information across an X.25 network.

Important: IP/X.25 transport works only over SVCs.
