Configuring LLC2
LLC2 support in the FRX and SmartSwitch 1800 provides a local or remote
connection over frame relay (via RFC 1490) or X.25 (via QLLC) between two SNA
devices, one attached to a LAN and the other attached to either another LAN or a
frame relay-compliant SNA/APPN (Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking) device.
Each SNA host and terminal accessing the FRX or SmartSwitch 1800, via SDLC,
LLC2, frame relay, or X.25, will appear to a local LLC2-attached terminal or host
as if it is directly connected to the local LAN.
If LLC2 is being used, Bridging must also be loaded and conÞgured. You must conÞgure a
Virtual LAN ID to identify a virtual bridge that connects the LLC2 function to LAN

interfaces. See Chapter 11, Bridge ConÞguration, for information on setting the Virtual
LAN ID and other bridging parameters.
You must conÞgure each SNA/LLC2 host device that will connect to an FRX or
SmartSwitch 1800 running LLC2.You can conÞgure a host using the SNA/LLC2
