Software Configuration Guide, Revision 1.03
Serial Interface Configuration
------------------------------
Example: Configuring the Serial Encapsulation Type
The following example enables frame relay encapsulation for the serial interface on slot 0 and port 0 of a
SmartNode 2300 series device. Check that in the command output of
show port serial
Encapsulation
is
set to
framerelay
.
SN(cfg)#
port serial 0 0
SN(prt-ser)[0/0]#
encapsulation framerelay
SN(prt-ser)[0/0]#
show port serial
Serial Interface Configuration
------------------------------
Port : serial 0 0 0
State : CLOSED
Hardware Port : V.35
Port Type : DTE
CRC Type : CRC-16
Max Frame Length: 2048
Recv Threshold : 1
Encapsulation : framerelay
16.6 Configuring the Hardware Port Protocol
Before using the serial interface the hardware port protocol has to be specified. There are two command
options available to select the suitable hardware port protocol:
•
v35
for V.35 protocol to be used, or
•
x21
for X.21 protocol to be used.
Procedure
To set the encapsulation type of the serial interface for frame relay
Mode
Administrator execution
Command Purpose
Step 1
node
(cfg)#port serial
slot port
Selects the serial interface on slot and
port
Step 2
node
(prt-ser)[
slot
/
port
]#hardware-port {v35
| x21}
Sets the hardware port protocol
Step 3
node
(prt-ser)[
slot
/
port
]#show port serial
Displays the serial interface
configuration
Example: Configuring the Hardw are Port Protocol
The following example enables X.21 as hardware port protocol for the serial interface on slot 0 and port
0 of a SmartNode 2300 series device. Check that in the command output of
show port serial
Hardware
Port
is set to
X.21
.
SN(cfg)#
port serial 0 0
SN(prt-ser)[0/0]#
hardware-port x21
SN(prt-ser)[0/0]#
show port serial
