WAN Interface Configuration
In order to use the WAN interface, you may want to set some physical parameters.  Then set up 
the link and protocol parameters.
Internal DS3 CSU/DSU Physical Communications Settings
Required for Dedicated Line Operation
No changes from the default values are required for standard operation over a DS3 line.  The 
default values are listed in Chapter 3.
Suggested for Dedicated Line Operation
Changing to a different Line Build Out may be required. These parameters can only be set 
using the command line interface. 
TB:  Use configure and the DS3 Interface WAN 0 section.
PPP Configuration
This section covers the settings required for PPP (point-to-point) protocol operation of the DS3 
WAN interface.

Suggested for Dedicated Line Operation
Dedicated line operation generally does not require additional parameters for operation.
IP Protocol
Required for IP
WAN interfaces which are set for PPP operation do not generally use an IP address.  They are 
set to act as an “unnumbered interface.”  In this mode of operation, there are no required 
settings.
Suggested for IP
These parameters help supply information about the segment that the interface is connected to.  
With this information, routing can take place.  
Set IP RIP 1, IP RIP 2, OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) or BGP (Border Gateway
