The HDLC settings are described in the sections that follow.

Activate the HDLC Interface

You must activate the HDLC interface. From the HDLC interface configuration
mode context, enter:
ProCurve(config-hdlc 1)# no shutdown
Although the HDLC interface is activated, its status will not change to up until
it is bound to a physical interface. It can then begin to negotiate an HDLC
session, and if that negotiation is successful, the status of the HDLC interface
will change to up.

Configure an IP Address for the WAN Connection

You configure the IP address for the WAN connection on the HDLC interface,
rather than on the physical interface. There are two ways to assign an IP
address to the HDLC interface:
assign a static IP address
configure the HDLC interface as an unnumbered interface
Assign a Static IP Address. To assign the HDLC interface an IP address,
enter the following command from the HDLC interface configuration mode
context:
Syntax: ip address <A.B.C.D> <subnet mask | /prefix length>
Explanation
• activates the interface
• assigns a static IP address to the
HDLC interface
• configures the HDLC interface to
use the IP address assigned to
another interface
• binds the physical interface to the
logical interface
• requires the tdm-group number for
E1 and T1 interfaces, but not for
serial interfaces
