When configuring protocols, follow these guidelines:
All supported protocols will fit on one 8MB RLP; however, as an entire
database (interfaces, subscribers, route tables, etc.) is configured, much more
memory is used. For that reason, it is recommended that no more than seven pro-
tocols (including X.25) be configured on any one RLP.
RIP is a valid choice only if IP is already configured on the same RLP.
If SNMP is configured, IP must also be configured on one RLP. (SNMP and IP
can be, but do not have to be, on the same RLP.)
If LLC2 is configured, BRIDGE must also be configured in the node. Both pro-
tocols should be (for better performance), but do not have to be, on the same
RLP.
If NVSP is configured, LLC2 and BRIDGE must also be configured in the node.
(All three protocols can be, but do not have to be, on the same RLP.)
You can display a report that identifies any LAN cards in the node. Press
