These interfaces can be used for either LLC2 or Bridging. Also note
that the
RLP
column is irrelevant on the SmartSwitch 1800.
To configure an interface, press
[D]
at the IP/LLC2/BRIDGE/IPX Interfaces Config-
uration Menu. When prompted for an
Interface Number
(which is merely a sequential
number to identify the interface):
If modifying an existing record, enter the interface number:
0–95
.
Do not configure more than one interface per DLCI on a port.
If creating a new record, press
[Enter]
, which will automatically specify the next
available sequential interface number.
The display depends on the interface; the following figure shows an example, and
Table 16-8 lists the parameters for all interface types.
