This chapter contains the following information about configuring the
SuperStack II Remote Access System (RAS) 1500 to support Point-to-Point
Protocol (PPP) over the serial wide area network (WAN) port.
Overview
Case Study
Troubleshooting
Properly configured network protocols
The RAS 1500 supports a PPP connection over a leased line on its serial
port. A leased line is a dedicated line between two sites and is
permanently installed rather than a dialed up connection. PPP over the
WAN port can connect to another RAS 1500 or any device that supports
PPP.
PPP over leased line offers the following benefits:
Constant connection. Once the connection between the sites is
established, the link does not come down unless you issue a
command to do so.
Simple configuration. To prepare a RAS 1500 for leased-line PPP
requires little configuration.
Fast. The RAS 1500 supports speeds of 2.048 Mbps.
