Avocent Access Router Cyclades-PR1000 Manual Do Utilizador

Each encapsulation option is presented in a separate section in this chapter.  Not all data-link protocols are available
for all interfaces.

PPP is the only encapsulation option than can be either synchronous or asynchronous.  It is important to choose
between them in CONFIG =>INTERFACE =><LINK> =>PHYSICAL before entering the Encapsulation menu.  The
menu options depend on this choice.  (Note:  not all interfaces support both the synchronous and asynchronous
modes.  In this case, there is no physical menu.)

The configuration of the PPP data-link protocol is confined to one menu, CONFIG =>INTERFACE =><LINK>
=>ENCAPSULATION =>PPP.  Information about all the parameters appearing in this menu is provided in the table
below.  Not all parameters will appear for all interfaces.

MLPPP

Enables Multilink PPP on this interface.  MLPPP is described in the CyROS
Reference Guide for each interface that supports it.

Connection Type

Applies for 

MLPPP = Yes.  Type of line used on this link.

Identification for This Bundle Applies for 

MLPPP = Yes and Dial-out or Leased. An integer value.

Total Number of lines for
This Bundle

Applies for 

MLPPP = Yes.  Maximum number of links allowed in the bundle.

PPP Inactivity Timeout

Applies to asynchronous connections only.  The connection is closed when
data does not pass through the line for this period of time.

Enable Van Jacobson IP
Header Compression

Allows the link to receive compressed packets.  This type of compression is
useful for low-speed links and/or small packets.  It is not recommended for fast
links, as it requires CPU time.

Transmit Compressed
Packets

Applies when 

Enable Van Jacobson IP Header Compression is Yes.  This

parameter causes the link to send compressed packets.
