P ACKET C NCTS After packet endpoints are defined, they are connected in the packet con-
nects (
P ACKET C NCTS ) map. P ACKET C NCTS connects upper layer protocols
from packet endpoint to packet endpoint. You can think of it as a dedicated
map for virtual ports rather than physical ports.
F ROM : PEP Write Security: 3; Read Security: 5
Selects one packet endpoint for the packet connection. Packet endpoints
created in the packet endpoint configuration are visible on a pull-down
menu which includes the
R OUTER option. Additionally, a router option is
available in this pull-down menu. The router is the internal the ATLAS 550
router and can be used multiple times within the
P ACKET C NCTS menu.
S UBLINK Write Security: 3; Read Security: 5
If the packet endpoint selected in
F ROM : PEP supports sublinks, they are
available in this menu. In frame relay, this is the PVC from which you are
selecting to groom data.
T O : PEP Write Security: 3; Read Security: 5
Selects the other packet endpoint for the packet connection. Refer to
F ROM :
PEP for more detail.
S UBLINK Write Security: 3; Read Security: 5
If the
T O : PEP packet endpoint supports sublinks, the available sublinks are
shown within this menu, which includes the R OUTER option.
P ROTOCOL Write Security: 3; Read Security: 5
Selects the protocols for this packet connection. Selecting the protocols on
each individual connection allows the mixing of data from multiple sources
onto a single PVC. Available protocols include the following:
A LL , IP ,
P ACKET VOICE , SNA - LLC2 , SNAP , and T RANSPARENT PROTOCOLS ( TBOP
and TASYNC ).
Keep in mind the following:
1.
If A LL is selected, additional connections from that
PVC are not allowed.
2. If R OUTER is selected as one packet endpoint, IP is
automatically set as the P ROTOCOL .
3. If a TBOP packet endpoint is selected as one packet
endpoint, T RANSPARENT is automatically set as the
P ROTOCOL .
