Enterprise Edge Networking Operations Guide P0910464 Issue 01
Note: Net Link Manager can back up only one link, even though there are two
primary links. Net Link Manager backs up the link whose next hop address
is given to it.
• Net Link Manager manages the default route in Enterprise Edge. If a link
breaks, Net Link Manager removes all the default routes on the broken link and
adds the default route to the new link. This happens during switch over from
primary to secondary links and vice versa.
Permanent WAN Connections
This section includes information on the following topics:
• Frame Relay
•PPP
The permanent WAN connections are provided by a WAN card that supports PPP
and Frame Relay connections. Each port can be configured to run either of the
protocols independently.
The WAN cards are provided by one T1 port (with in-built CSU/DSU) and one
serial sync port or dual serial sync port versions.
The Enterprise Edge serial sync port supports the following:
• Interfaces: V.35, RS442, RS 323, X.21
• Maximum line speed:8 Mbit/sec
Frame Relay
Enterprise Edge supports Frame Relay in group mode. That is, for each physical
port (serial sync or T1 port), there is one IP address for all PVCs.
The available DLCI numbers are 0-1023, of which 16 are reserved. The maximum
number of PVC’s allowed is 1008.
For Frame Relay network, Enterprise Edge supports Frame Relay Forum standard
FRF.9 compression protocol with the standard STAC compression algorithm.
Software performs the compression and it can be enabled or disabled by using
Unified Manager.
PPP
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is a protocol for communication between two
computers using a serial interface, typically a personal computer connected by
phone line to a server. For example, your Internet server provider may provide you
with a PPP connection so that the provider's server can respond to your requests,
pass them on to the Internet, and forward your requested Internet responses back to
you. PPP uses the Internet protocol (IP). PPP is sometimes considered a member of
the TCP/IP suite of protocols. Relative to the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI)
reference model, PPP provides layer 2 (data-link layer) service.
