contain the circuitry for the physical ports of an RLP. (LIC 1 contains ports 0–3, LIC
2 contains ports 4–7.)
specifies which protocols will run on the RLP. When a new node is started up, X.25
and a software function called CONFIG will be loaded onto the RLP. When you con-
figure a new record, X.25 and CONFIG will already be displayed as installed. For
each remaining protocol, the available choices will be those protocols not already
specified that will fit on the RLP.
When configuring protocols, follow these guidelines:
All supported protocols will fit on one 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 protocols
(including X.25) be configured on any one RLP.
RIP is a valid choice only if IP is already configured.
If SNMP is configured, IP must also be configured.
If LLC2 is configured, BRIDGE must also be configured.
If NVSP is configured, LLC2 and BRIDGE must also be configured.
