Connecting to Other Manufacturers' Routers

1-10
When connecting LANs together, you may require each end of
the WAN link to be attached to a router from a different
manufacturer. This is not the best solution because, although the
Bay Networks Nautica series routers can operate comfortably
with other manufacturers' routers, not all of their flexibility and
functionality is available.
The options are:
Nautica to Nautica on IP or IPX networks: Very efficient
implementation, able to use the Nautica advanced ISDN
capabilities for routing between networks.
Nautica to Third Party Router Using Point-to-Point Protocol
(PPP): This is a minimal-feature implementation developed by
the IP community, and adopted for router interoperability. If PPP
is used, then the Nautica series can also use PAP and CHAP for
security.
