Figure 1-5. Bay Networks Single-Switch Router
There are three important types of single-switch conversion:
• FRAD operation
• SDLC-to-LLC2 conversion
• QLLC-to-LLC2 conversion
FRAD Operation
Single-switch services enable a Bay Networks router to function as a Frame Relay
Access Device (FRAD). SNA devices are typically connected over a LAN or
SDLC connection to the router, providing local termination. The router first
connects to the Frame Relay (or other wide area) network, and then to an SNA
processor using the Boundary Network Node (BNN) or the Boundary Access
Node (BAN). BNN is the RFC 1490 standard. For more information on BNN and
BAN, refer to “Frame Relay Support
” on page 1-24.
SDLC-to-LLC2 Conversion
Using single-switch conversion enables the router to convert incoming SDLC
traffic into the appropriate format for forwarding to an attached LAN or Frame
Relay network. The conversion does not require an intervening WAN.
