Configuring Link Encapsulation and Keepalive
SHDSL Link Encapsulation
The NBG440 unit and the remote device must agree upon the type of link encapsulation
used. The NBG440 unit must encapsulate all outbound packets before sending them
across the WAN, and the remote device must decapsulate them before forwarding the
packets to the local network.
The NBG440 unit supports various encapsulation types such as HDLC, PPP, Frame-
Relay, ETHDLC and NTNHDLC(a protocol for communicating with Net-to-Net
technologies products. It supports interoperability for both base-level layers 1 and 2 and
Net-to-Net technologies’s innovative feature sets.).

The default encapsulation type is the ETHDLC encapsulation.
You can define the encapsulation method by using the following command:
Note:
If the interface is not enabled, this command is ignored. First, you must enable
routing or bridging on the interface.

(conf)# interface <ifname> encap hdlc|ppp|frelay|ethdlc|ntnhdlc
Parameters
<ifname> - interface name
hdlc : HDLC protocol
ppp : PPP protocol
frelay: Frame-Relay protocol
ethdlc : ETHDLC protocol
ntnhdlc: NTNHDCL protocol, it is used to connect the Net-to-Net
technologies’s products.
To verify your changes, use the following command.
