Creating a Netlink Between Two Passports that are Physically Connected

If you are creating a netlink across a public frame relay network go to Creating a Netlink Across a Public Frame Relay Network. Otherwise, continue as directed in this procedure.

Set the frame relay LMI Mode:

1. From the Physical Interface (Serial) window, select the port you want to configure the netlink on. You will see the Physical Port Configuration window.

4. Under WAN/Data Services in the navigational menu, select PANL. You will see the Port Selection (PANL) window. Use the pull down menu to select the port you want to add the netlink to. You will see the PVC LMI Configuration window:



5. Use the LMI Type pull down menu to select noLmiConfigured.

9. In the DLCI Number field, input your DLCI number (16 - 991). The same DLCI number must be configured on both sides of the link. Otherwise, the Passport 4400 units will not be able to communicate with each other.
