Features
HP routers interconnect local and remote LANs (Ethernet/802.3, token
ring/802.5, and FDDI) to create extended LANs. They provide both bridg-
ing and routing capabilities and support the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP
protocol suite), DECnet Phase IV, Xerox XNS, Novell IPX, and AppleTalk
Phase 2 routing services. If a packet arrives with an unsupported proto-
col, these routers use their bridging capability to send the packet toward
its destination. This allows full support for environments where
non-routable, uncommon, or unsupported protocols may exist.
On most models there is also one or more synchronous WAN ports
supporting RS-232/V/24/V.28, V.35, X.21, or RS-422/RS-449/V.36 interfaces.
These provide HP Point-to-Point, PPP, V.25 bis, SMDS, frame relay, and
LAPB (X.25) connections to other routers.
