STEP TWO
The second step is to choose a data-link protocol in the Encapsulation menu.  There are many encapsulation
options on this interface.

For synchronous communication:

• Frame Relay:  the Frame Relay Protocol is based on frame switching and constructs a permanent virtual

circuit (PVC) between two or more points.

• X.25:  The X.25 Protocol is generally used to connect to a public network.  The router can act either as a DTE

or a DCE.

• HDLC:  A proprietary alternative to PPP.

For synchronous or asynchronous communication:

• PPP:  The PPP (Point-to-Point)  protocol is used for leased, dial-up, and ISDN lines.  Multilink PPP is also

provided.

Information on how to determine the values of the parameters for each data-link protocol is provided in chapter 8.

STEP THREE
The third step is to set the Network Protocol parameters.  Information for this step is provided in chapter 7.
