Configuring SLIP

link-protocol slip

Use link-protocol slip to enable SLIP encapsulation on an interface.
Syntax
link-protocol slip
Views
Interface view
Default command level
2: System level
Usage guidelines
Enable SLIP encapsulation only on asynchronous interfaces. For a synchronous/asynchronous interface,
switch it to the asynchronous mode, and then enable SLIP encapsulation on it.
Some asynchronous interfaces do not support the SLIP protocol, but you can still configure the
link-protocol slip command on it. When you do that, the system informs you that the operation of SLIP
encapsulation fails. By then, no encapsulation is enabled on the interface. You must use the link-protocol
ppp command to enable PPP encapsulation on the interface to make it available again.
Example
# Enable SLIP encapsulation on synchronous/asynchronous interface Serial 2/0.
