WAN link using a point-to-point virtual circuit, the LCON. Each WAN link or
connection has a unique LCON. The LCON is considered to be an IP network with
only two hosts and is assigned its own, unique IP subnetwork number.
The benefits of WANView include:
• less administrations - you are not required to configure the Next Hop address
• better manageability - each WAN link has a unique IP subnetwork number
When interoperating with non-Motorola routers it may not be possible to use
WANView. For interoperability with non-Motorola routers use LANView.
Figure 2-8 illustrates an example of WANView over Frame Relay.

In this example, there are two point-to-point connections. One point-to-point
connection is from Node 100 Router Interface #5 to Node 200 Router Interface #5.
The other point-to-point connection is from Node 100 Router Interface #6 to Node
300 Router Interface #5. The two ends on each WANView point-to-point connection,
are on the same IP Subnet.
