X.25
Generally, inter-network protocols will need to send some broadcast datagrams
for specific purposes. On the broadcasting physical networks (such as Ethernet),
such requirements are naturally supported. But for non-broadcasting networks like
X.25, how to realize the broadcasting?
The X.25 of the 3Com Router series can enable this to decide if the broadcast
packet should be duplicated and sent to a destination. This is very important. For
instance, the broadcast-based application layer routing protocol will request
broadcasting datagram sent by X.25 to exchange routing information on the X.25
network.
It can be specified whether to send broadcasting data packets on the related
virtual circuits of both SVC and PVC.
Table 253 Set broadcast via X.25
7 Restrict the use of address mapping
X.25 calls are closely related to address mapping: before a destination is called,
this destination must be found in the address mapping table. Before a call is
received, the source of this call must also be found in the address mapping table.
But in some cases, some address mappings are used for calling out only, while
others are used for calling in only.
The X.25 of the 3Com Router series allows restricting the use of this address
mapping addition by adding some option items, as shown in the following table.
Table 254 Restrict the use of address mapping
8 Configure interface with standby center
The powerful standby function of the 3Com Router series is provided by the
"standby center". To add an X.25 interface into the standby center, perform the
following task in the interface view.
