Patton electronic 2800 user manual Configuring the PVC encapsulation type

OnSite 2800 Series User Manual4 • Serial port configuration

Mode: Frame Relay

Step Command Purpose

1node(frm-rel)[slot/port]#pvcdlci Enters the PVC configuration mode by assigning a DLCI number to be used on the specified sub interface

Example: Entering Frame Relay PVC configuration mode

The following example enters the configuration mode for PVC with the assigned DLCI of 1 for Frame Relay over the serial interface on slot 0 and port 0 of an OnSite router.

2800(cfg)#port serial 0 0 2800(prt-ser)[0/0]#framerelay 2800(frm-rel)[0/0]#pvc 1 2800(pvc)[1]#

Configuring the PVC encapsulation type

You must use the PVC configuration command encapsulation rfc1490 to set the encapsulation type to com- ply with the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard (RFC 1490). Use this keyword when connect- ing to another vendor’s equipment across a Frame Relay network.

This procedure describes how to set the encapsulation type to comply with RFC 1490

Mode: Frame Relay

Step Command Purpose

1node(frm-rel)[slot/port]#encapsulation rfc1490 Sets RFC1490 PVC compliant encapsulation

Example: Configuring the PVC encapsulation type

The following example sets the encapsulation type to comply with RFC 1490 for PVC with the assigned DLCI of 1 for Frame Relay over the serial interface on slot 0 and port 0 of an OnSite router.

2800(cfg)#port serial 0 0 2800(prt-ser)[0/0]#framerelay 2800(frm-rel)[0/0]#pvc 1 2800(pvc)[1]#encapsulation rfc1490

Binding the Frame Relay PVC to IP interface

A newly created permanent virtual circuit (PVC) for Frame Relay has to be bound to an IP interface for further use. The logical IP interface has to be already defined and should be named according to the use of the serial
