Defining a DLSw+ Remote Peer
Defining a remote peer in DLSw+ is optional, however, usually at least one side of a peer connection has
a dlsw remote-peer statement. If you omit the dlsw remote-peer command from a DLSw+ peer
configuration, then you must configure the promiscuous keyword on the dlsw local-peer statement.
Promiscuous routers will accept any peer connection requests from other routers that are not
preconfigured. To define a remote peer, use the dlsw remote-peer command in global configuration
mode.
One of the options in the remote peer statement is to specify an encapsulation type. Configure one of the
following types of encapsulations with the dlsw remote-peer statement:
• TCP Encapsulation, page 289
• TCP/IP with RIF Passthrough Encapsulation, page 290
• FST Encapsulation, page 290
• Direct Encapsulation, page 291
• DLSw Lite Encapsulation, page 291
Which encapsulation type you choose depends on several factors, including whether you want to
terminate the LLC flows. TCP and DLSw+ Lite terminate the LLC, but the other encapsulation types do
not. For details on each encapsulation type, see the DLSw+ Design and Implementation Guide. See the
“Local Acknowledgement” section in the
overview chapter of this publication for a discussion on local
acknowledgement.
TCP Encapsulation
To configure TCP encapsulation on a remote peer, use the following command in global configuration
mode:
The following command specifies a dlsw remote peer with TCP encapsulation:
dlsw remote-peer 0 tcp 10.23.4.5
