Patton electronic 2800 user manual Configuring the encapsulation for Frame Relay, Port

OnSite 2800 Series User Manual 4 • Serial port configuration

Example: Enabling an interface

The example shows how to enable the built-in serial interface on slot 0 and port 0 of an OnSite router. Check that State is set to OPENED in the command output of show port serial.

2800(cfg)#port serial 0 0 2800(prt-ser)[0/0]#no shutdown 2800(prt-ser)[0/0]#show port serial

Configuring the encapsulation for Frame Relay

The synchronous serial interface supports the Frame Relay serial encapsulation method.

To set the encapsulation method used by a serial interface, use the encapsulation interface configuration command.

This procedure describes how to set the encapsulation type of the serial interface for Frame Relay.

Mode: Administrator execution

Step	Command	Purpose
1	node(cfg)#port serial slot port	Selects the serial interface on slot and
		port.
2	node(prt-ser)[slot/port]#[no] encapsulation {	Sets the encapsulation type for the
	framerelay ppp }	selected interface.
3	node(prt-ser)[slot/port]#show port serial	Displays the serial interface configuration.

Example: Configuring the serial encapsulation type

The following example enables Frame Relay encapsulation for the serial interface on slot 0 and port 0 of an OnSite router. Check that in the command output of show port serial Encapsulation is set to framerelay.

2800(cfg)#port serial 0 0 2800(prt-ser)[0/0]#encapsulation framerelay 2800(prt-ser)[0/0]#show port serial
