Communication Port Options (4 of 4)

Link Protocol

Possible Settings: PPP, SLIP
Default Setting: PPP

Specifies the link-layer protocol to be used. Only in effect when the COM port is
configured as a network communication link (Port Use option is set to Net Link).

Display Conditions – This option only appears when Port Use is set to Net Link.

PPP – Point-to-Point Protocol.

SLIP – Serial-Line Internet Protocol.

RIP

Possible Settings: None, Proprietary, Standard_out
Default Setting: None

Specifies which Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is used to enable routing of
management data between devices.

Display Conditions – This option only appears when Port Use is set to Net Link.

None – No routing is used.

Proprietary – A proprietary variant of RIP version 1 is used to communicate routing
information only between devices to enable routing of IP traffic.

Standard_out – The device will send standard RIP messages to communicate routing
information about other FrameSaver units in the network. Standard RIP messages
received on this link are ignored.

NOTE:

The router must be configured to receive RIP on the port connected to the
COM port, configured as the management interface (e.g., Cisco:

config-t, router RIP, int serial

x, IP RIP Receive

version 1, ctl-z WR

).

To create this management interface, make sure that Node or COM port IP
Information has been set up (

).
