Vanguard Routing Model

Overview

Introduction

Before you attempt to configure a Vanguard device for LAN operation you should 
take time to understand how the Vanguard router works. Understanding this unique 
routing model will make configuring the Vanguard router easier.

What is in this 
Chapter

This chapter provides information on how a Vanguard router interconnects two or 
more LANs over a WAN. This chapter will 

• describe the key components of the Vanguard routing model 

• the concepts of X.25 virtual circuits and how they are used in the Vanguard

• the term LAN connection, LCON - what it means and why is it used.

• LANview and WANview models

• provide basics configuration examples

Note about 
Configuration 
Examples

The configuration examples provided in this manual highlight the important 
parameters that should be configured and do not detail all configurable parameters. 
In addition, these examples may not work with your specific network but can be 
modified and adapted for your use.
