OnSite 2800 Series User Manual 4 • Serial port configuration
Example: Enabling an interface
The example shows how to enable the built-in serial interface on slot 0 and port 0 of an OnSite router. Check
that State is set to OPENED in the command output of
show port serial .
2800(cfg)#port serial 0 0
2800(prt-ser)[0/0]#no shutdown
2800(prt-ser)[0/0]#show port serial

Configuring the encapsulation for Frame Relay
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.
Mode: Administrator execution
Example: Configuring the serial encapsulation type
The following example enables Frame Relay encapsulation for the serial interface on slot 0 and port 0 of an
OnSite router. Check that in the command output of
show port serial Encapsulation is set to framerelay.
2800(cfg)#port serial 0 0
2800(prt-ser)[0/0]#encapsulation framerelay
2800(prt-ser)[0/0]#show port serial

Port : serial 0 0 0
State : CLOSED
Hardware Port : V.35
Step Command Purpose
1 node(cfg)#port serial slot port Selects the serial interface on slot and
port.
2 node(prt-ser)[slot/port]#[no] encapsulation {
framerelay | ppp } Sets the encapsulation type for the
selected interface.
3 node(prt-ser)[slot/port]#show port serial Displays the serial interface configuration.
