Modifying and Saving Router Configurations
117347-A Rev. A 3-17
To select WAN protocols for a circuit:
1. Click on the box to the left of the protocols you want to enable, then click
on OK.
When you select a WAN protocol, note the following:
• Selecting frame relay, PPP, or SMDS automatically enables protocol
prioritization. For information about protocol prioritization, refer to
Configuring Traffic Filters and Protocol Prioritization.
• If you select Bay Networks Standard protocol, you cannot change the
WAN protocol on this circuit to any other protocol. If you want to enable
another protocol on this circuit, you must delete the circuit and create a
new one. For instructions on deleting a circuit from the router, refer to
“Deleting a Circuit from the Router” on page
3-26.
• When you enable a WAN protocol, the synchronous line parameters are
automatically set to the following values.
Refer to Configuring WAN Line Services for more information.
• If you are configuring the COM2 port on an AN or ANH router, the Edit
ASYNC Parameters window opens. See Configuring WAN Line Services
for information about this window.
2. After you choose a WAN protocol, do one of the following:
• Select a LAN protocol for this circuit, if prompted by the Configuration
Manager.
For some WAN protocols, such as Bay Networks Standard, PassThru,
PPP, and frame relay, the Configuration Manager displays the Select
Protocols window (refer to Figure 3-9), prompting you to select a LAN
protocol. Depending on the protocol you choose, you may need to
configure a few parameters. Refer to the protocol-specific documentation
for configuration instructions.
