Parameter
Description
Encapsulation List
Choose the encapsulation for this connection. If you are editing a connection, you
cannot change the encapsulation type in this window. You must delete the
connection, and then create a new connection with the encapsulation type you need.
•
Frame Relay
A switched data link layer protocol that handles multiple virtual circuits by using
HDLC encapsulation between connected devices.
•
HDLC
High-Level Data Link Control. A bit-oriented synchronous data link layer protocol
developed by the International Standards Organization (ISO). HDLC specifies a data
encapsulation method on synchronous serial links by using frame characters and
checksums.
•
PPP
Point-to-Point Protocol.
Authentication Details
If you choose PPP encapsulation, you can provide authentication information that your
Internet service provider requires.
•
Username
Enter exactly as given to you by your Internet service provider or network
administrator and is used as the username for CHAP and/or PAP authentication.
•
Password
Enter exactly as given to you by your service provider. Passwords are case sensitive.
For example, the password `test’ is not the same as `Test’.
•
Confirm Password
Reenter the same password that you entered in the previous box.
Address Type List
•
Static IP address
Available with Frame Relay, PPP, and HDLC encapsulation types. If you choose static
IP address, enter the IP address and subnet mask or the subnet bits in the fields
provided.
•
Dynamic (DHCP Client)—If you choose Dynamic, the router leases an IP address
from a remote DHCP server. Enter the name of the DHCP server that assigns
addresses.
•
IP Unnumbered
Available with Frame Relay, PPP, and HDLC encapsulation types. Choose IP
Unnumbered if you want the interface to share an IP address that has already been
assigned to another interface. Then, choose the interface whose IP address you
want the interface that you are configuring to use.
•
IP Negotiated
Available only with PPP encapsulation type. Choose Easy IP (IP Negotiated) if the
router obtains an IP address by PPP/IPCP address negotiation.
IP Address and Subnet Mask
If you choose Static IP address, provide the IP address and subnet mask in these fields.
