Continued from step 8.

  1. Establish a virtual circuit to carry the SNA traffic across the WAN. Perform either the PVC, SPVC, or SVC procedure, depending on the type of virtual circuit you need to establish.

PVC

If the remote end is a FRAD, you must establish a PVC (SNA traffic is carried across the WAN in an RFC 1490 BAN PVC). Use the following commands to configure the PVC connection:

CLI> add fr port virtualPort

Parameter

Range of Values

Required Action

<IfIndex>

Integer (1..255)

Enter an available IfIndex for the virtual port to be used for the PVC.

<Number>

Integer (0..254)

Enter the interface number you want to assign to this virtual port (the PPA number). (show port if will give you a list of ifnumbers already in use.)


CLI> add fr port pvcLANData

Parameter

Range of Values

Required Action

<IfIndex>

Integer (1..255)

Enter the IfIndex of the virtual port.

<NetlinkIfIndex>

Integer (1..255)

Enter the DLCI number assigned to the unit for user traffic. If PANL is used, specify the IfIndex of the tunnel.


Example command sequence:

CLI> add fr port virtualPort 15 2
CLI> add fr port pvcLANData 15 32

SPVC

If the remote end is a Passport 6400 unit, you can use an SPVC. For SNA traffic carried across the WAN in a PANL SPVC, use the existing pre-defined WAN port (IfIndex 153) and DTE-PANL tunnel (IfIndex 149). Then use the following commands to complete the configuration of the SPVC connection:

CLI> add fr port virtualPort

Parameter

Range of Values

Required Action

<IfIndex>

Integer (1..255)

Enter an available IfIndex for the virtual port to be used for the SPVC.

<Number>

Integer (0..254)

Enter the interface number you want to assign to this virtual port (the PPA number). (show port if will give you a list of ifnumbers already in use.)


CLI> add fr port spvcLANData

Parameter

Range of Values

Required Action

<VirtualPortIfIndex>

Integer (1..255)

Enter the IfIndex of the virtual port.

<RemoteNetDLCI>

Integer (16..991)

Enter the remote net DLCI.

<SVCDNA>

Frame Relay DNA (as a quoted string, 1..34)

Enter the DNA as a quoted string, according to the convention below.

<ConnectType>

slave | master

Select either master or slave.


When configuring the SPVC DNA, the LAN service digit (1) is used. Thus, the DNA specified must conform to the following convention:

<remote prefix DNA> + <1> + <remote virtual port number>

Example command sequence:

CLI> add fr port virtualPort 15 2
CLI> add fr port spvcLANData 15 32 "32115" master

SVC

If the remote end is a Passport 4400 unit, you can use an SVC. For SNA traffic carried across the WAN in a PANL SVC, use the existing pre-defined WAN port (IfIndex 153) and DTE-PANL tunnel (IfIndex 149). Then use the following commands to complete the configuration of the SVC connection:

CLI> add fr port virtualPort

Parameter

Range of Values

Required Action

<IfIndex>

Integer (1..255)

Enter an available IfIndex for the virtual port to be used for the SVC.

<Number>

Integer (0..254)

Enter the interface number you want to assign to this virtual port (the PPA number). (show port if will give you a list of ifnumbers already in use.)


CLI> add fr port svcLANData

Parameter

Range of Values

Required Action

<IfIndex>

Integer (1..255)

Enter the IfIndex of the virtual port.

<DNA>

Frame relay DNA (as a quoted string, 1..34)

Enter the frame relay DNA as a quoted string. The DNA must follow the convention described below.

<TxPriority>

Integer (0..15)

Enter the priority required for transmissions across this virtual port.


The DNA specified must conform to the following convention:

<remote prefix DNA> + <1> + <remote virtual port number>

Example command sequence:

CLI> add fr port virtualPort 15 2
CLI> add fr port svcLANData 15 "32115" 0

  1. Add RFC 1490 BAN encapsulation to the virtual port (whether PVC, SPVC, or SVC):
  2. CLI> add sna llc port

    Parameters

    Range of Values

    Required Action

    <IfIndex>

    Integer (1..255)

    Enter the IfIndex of the virtual port.

    <Type>

    ban | enet

    Select ban.


    Example:

    CLI> add sna llc port 15 ban

  3. Save the configuration and reset the unit:
  4. CLI> save configuration update
    CLI> reset system current reset

End of procedure.
