SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol) defines a method of forwarding packets via 
standard RS-232 asynchronous serial line.

The advantage of SLIP lies in its inexpensive price. It enables a computer to access 
the Internet by dialing-up without dedicated line. Furthermore, as SLIP does not 
provide address, or error detection and correction, or compression algorithm, it is 
simple for implementation.

For more detailed introduction about SLIP, refer to RFC1055.

As SLIP does not negotiate the peer name, SLIP dialing can only coordinate with 
standard DCC.

SLIP configuration includes:

■

Configure synchronous/asynchronous interface to work in asynchronous mode

■

Configure the link layer protocol of an interface to be SLIP

■

Configure the incoming and outgoing call authority of Modem

■

Enable DCC

■

Activate Dialer Group and Dialer Rule

■

Configure dialing string on an interface

For specified configuration about DCC and Modem, refer to the module about 
“Dialing-up”.

Perform the following configuration in interface view.

By default, synchronous/asynchronous interface works in synchronous mode.
