LAPB Implementation on Bay Networks Routers
The implementation of the LAPB protocol differs among Bay Networks routers.
On the AN, ANH, ARN, and ASN routers, and on the BN
®
and LN
®
routers with
the Octal Sync link module, LAPB is implemented in the software. For all other
link modules, LAPB is implemented in the hardware, and you cannot configure
LAPB line parameters.
Bay Networks routers use LAPB services to initialize the link between the router
and the local DCE, and to frame X.25 data packets before transmitting them to the
DCE. X.25 uses the LAPB protocol at the data link layer to:
• Initialize the link between the DTE and the local DCE
• Frame X.25 data packets before transmitting them to the DCE
The LAPB information field contains the X.25 packets.When an X.25 packet
reaches the destination router, the LAPB protocol strips away the LAPB frame
and delivers the packet to the network layer for further processing. For detailed
information on X.25, see Configuring X.25 Services.
