30.1 HIGH-SPEED SERIAL INTERFACE (HSSI) AND 
STANDARD SERIAL INTERFACES
On the Riverstone RS Switch Router, WAN routing is performed over a serial interface using two basic protocols: 
Frame Relay and point-to-point protocol (PPP). The protocols have their own set of configuration and monitoring 
CLI commands described in the Riverstone RS Switch Router Command Line Interface Reference Manual.
In both the Frame Relay and PPP environments on the RS, you can specify ports to be High-Speed Serial Interface 
(HSSI) or standard serial interface ports, depending, of course, on the type of hardware you have. Each type of 
interface plays a part in the nomenclature of port identification. You must use either the “hs.” or “se.” prefix for 
HSSI and serial interfaces, respectively, when specifying WAN port identities.
