Configuring The Serial Encapsulation Type - Patton electronics SmartNode Series Software Configuration Manual

15 • Serial port configuration
This procedure describes how to enable a serial interface.
Mode: Administrator execution
Step
1 node (cfg)#port serial slot port
2 node (prt-ser)[ slot/port ]#no shutdown
3 node (prt-ser)[ slot/port ]#show port serial Displays the serial interface configuration.
Example: Enabling an interface
The example shows how to enable the built-in serial interface on slot 0 and port 0 of a SmartNode. Check that
State is set to OPENED in the command output of show port serial.
SN(cfg)#port serial 0 0
SN(prt-ser)[0/0]#no shutdown

Encapsulation
Configuring the serial encapsulation type
The synchronous serial interface supports the Frame Relay serial encapsulation method.
To set the encapsulation method used by a serial interface, use the encapsulation interface configuration
command.
This procedure describes how to set the encapsulation type of the serial interface for Frame Relay.
