Physical Communications Settings
You may need to set the baud rate, sync/async operation, and other physical
communications parameters for the WAN interface. These parameters will depend
on the line communications device you are using.
RV: Use the WAN - General window.
CL: Use interface(misc) and then wan serial(set).
WAN Interface Frame Relay Configuration
This section covers the settings required for Frame Relay operation of the BR
Router WAN interfaces. In general, the parameters listed here should be set for
each WAN interface on which you plan to use Frame Relay. Note that some WAN
interfaces can be running Frame Relay while others are running PPP.
There are a few differences between the capabilities of the V.35 WAN interface and
the RS-232 WAN interface. The V.35 interface can only be run synchronously, at
rates up to 2 Mbps per second. The RS-232 interface can be run synchronously or
asynchronously, at rates up to 256Kbps (sync), or 230.4Kbps (async).
IP Protocol
Required for IP
Frame Relay operation requires that the WAN interface is set to be a “numbered
interface.” This means that the interface (and thus the Frame Relay network) must
have an IP address, etc.
• IP numbered interface
• IP Address
• IP Subnet mask
• IP Broadcast Address
RV: Use the WAN - IP screen to set these parameters.
CL: Use the interface(misc) and ip wan(set) commands.
Suggested for IP
These parameters help supply information about the segment that the interface is
connected to. With this information, routing can take place.
• IP RIP 1 (Routing Information Protocol version 1)
