SmartWare Software Configuration Guide
Example: Configuring the serial encapsulation type
The following example enables Frame Relay encapsulation for the serial interface on slot 0 and port 0 of a
SmartNode. Check that in the command output of show port serial Encapsulation is set to framerelay.
SN(cfg)#port serial 0 0
SN(prt-ser)[0/0]#encapsulation framerelay
SN(prt-ser)[0/0]#show port serial

Configuring the hardware port protocol
Before using the serial interface the hardware port protocol has to be specified. There are two command
options available to select the suitable hardware port protocol:
•
v35 for V.35 protocol to be used
•
x21 for X.21 protocol to be used
Mode: Administrator execution
Step
node (cfg)#port serial slot port
1
node (prt-ser)[ slot/port ]#hardware-port {v35 | x21} Sets the hardware port protocol
2
node (prt-ser)[ slot/port ]#show port serial

Example: Configuring the hardware port protocol
The following example enables X.21 as hardware port protocol for the serial interface on slot 0 and port 0 of a
SmartNode. Check that Hardware Port is set to X.21 in the command output of show port serial.
SN(cfg)#port serial 0 0
SN(prt-ser)[0/0]#hardware-port x21
SN(prt-ser)[0/0]#show port serial
