Configuring the serial encapsulation type

The synchronous serial interface supports the Frame Relay and PPP serial encapsulation method. For more information how to configure Frame Relay and PPP, please see Chapter15, “Frame Relay configuration” on page 177 and Chapter 30, “PPP configuration” on page 313.

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.

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. Check that in the command output of show port serial Encapsulation is set to framerelay.

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