Table 3-17. Communication Port Options (4 of 4)

Link Protocol
Possible Settings: PPP, SLIP
Default Setting: PPP
Specifies the link-layer protocol to be used. Only in effect when the COM port is
configured as a network communication link (Port Use option is set to Net Link).
Display Conditions This option only appears when Port Use is set to Net Link.
PPP Point-to-Point Protocol.
SLIP Serial-Line Internet Protocol.
RIP
Possible Settings: None, Proprietary, Standard_out
Default Setting: None
Specifies which Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is used to enable routing of
management data between devices.
Display Conditions This option only appears when Port Use is set to Net Link.
None No routing is used.
Proprietary A proprietary variant of RIP version 1 is used to communicate routing
information only between devices to enable routing of IP traffic.
Standard_out The device will send standard RIP messages to communicate routing
information about other FrameSaver units in the network. Standard RIP messages
received on this link are ignored.
Standard_out The device will send standard RIP messages to communicate routing
information about other FrameSaver units in the network. Standard RIP messages
received on this link are ignored.
NOTE: The router must be configured to receive RIP on the port connected to the
COM port, configured as the management interface (e.g., Cisco:
config-t, router RIP, int serialx, IP RIP Receive
version 1, ctl-z WR).
To create this management interface, make sure that Node or COM port IP
Information has been set up (Configuring Node IP Information).
