Setting the Protocol
The network protocol for a dial-out location can be set for PPP packet encapsulation,
SLIP encapsulation, or a Frame Relay subinterface. PPP can be used with either or both
IP and IPX packet routing. You should select a protocol that is compatible with the
remote location.
Note – New location table entries default to PPP.
To set the protocol for a location, use the following command:
Command> set location Locname protocol slip|ppp|frame|x75-sync
For more information about setting the location protocol to a Frame Relay subinterface,
see “Frame Relay Subinterfaces” on page 13-12.
