Specifying the Link Layer Encapsulation Type
By default, the link layer encapsulation type defined for the adjacent node is
“other.”
The link layer encapsulation type used by the adjacent node depends on the type
of network on which the node is located. You can use the following Site Manager
procedure to specify SNAP encapsulation for a IEEE 802.2 network, PDN
encapsulation for X.25 PDN, and WAN for frame relay SVC and ATM SVC.
Specify Subnetwork Access Protocol (SNAP) encapsulation only if IEEE 802.2
encapsulation is to be used over CSMA/CD or DS1 links.
You can use the following Site Manager procedure to specify a link layer
encapsulation type.
