30.11 CISCO HDLC WAN PORT CONFIGURATION
To configure Cisco HDLC ports, you must first define the type and location of the WAN interface, optionally “set up”
a library of configuration settings, then apply those settings to the desired interface(s). The following examples are
designed to give you a small model of the steps necessary for a Cisco HDLC WAN interface specification.
To define the location and identity of a High-Speed Serial Interface (HSSI) Cisco HDLC WAN port located at router
slot 5, port 1 with a speed rating of 45 million bits per second:
When you apply cisco-hdlc encapsulation on a WAN port, a default service profile is used. This service profile uses
the default values of the profile parameters. If you want to apply a non-default service profile, then you must create a
profile and apply it to the port.
30.11.1 Setting up a Cisco HDLC Service Profile
Once you have defined the type and location of your Cisco HDLC WAN interface(s), you can configure your RS to
more efficiently utilize available bandwidth for Cisco HDLC communications.
Note
The RS comes with a set of “default values” for Cisco HDLC interface
configuration settings, which means that setting up a Cisco HDLC service profile
is not absolutely necessary to begin sending and receiving Cisco HDLC traffic on
your RS.
Suppose you wish to set up a service profile called “ciscosp” that includes the following characteristics:
•
Leave high-, low-, and medium-priority queue depths set to factory defaults
•
Random Early Discard disabled
•
The number of seconds between “keepalive” messages set to 15
•
RMON enabled
30.11.2 Applying a Service Profile to an Active Cisco HDLC WAN Port
The command line necessary to set up a service profile with the above attributes would be as follows:
To assign the above service profile to the active Cisco HDLC port defined earlier (slot 5, port 1):
rs(config)# port set hs.5.1 wan-encapsulation cisco-hdlc speed 45000000
rs(config)# cisco-hdlc define service ciscosp red off keepalive 15 rmon on
rs(config)# cisco-hdlc apply service ciscosp ports hs.5.1
