IPLink Software Configuration Guide
15 • Serial port configuration
The following example enters the configuration mode for PVC with the assigned DLCI of 1 for Frame Relay
over the serial interface on slot 0 and port 0 of an IPLink.
IPLink(cfg)#port serial 0 0
IPLink(prt-ser)[0/0]#framerelay
IPLink(frm-rel)[0/0]#pvc 1
IPLink(pvc)[1]#
Configuring the PVC encapsulation type
You must use the PVC configuration command
encapsulation rfc1490
to set the encapsulation type to com-
ply with the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard (RFC 1490). Use this keyword when connecting
to another vendor’s equipment across a Frame Relay network.
This procedure describes how to set the encapsulation type to comply with RFC 1490
Mode: Frame Relay
Example:
Configuring the PVC encapsulation type

Binding the Frame Relay PVC to IP interface
A newly created permanent virtual circuit (PVC) for Frame Relay has to be bound to an IP interface for further
use. The logical IP interface has to be already defined and should be named according to the use of the serial
