Configuring WAN Line Services

Before You Begin

Before using this guide, you must complete the following procedures:

• For a new router:

-- Install the rout er (re fer t o the installation manual that came with your
router).

-- Connect the router to the ne tw ork and create a pilot configuration file (see

Quick-Starting Routers, Configuring BayStack Remote Access, or
Connecting ASN Routers to a Network).

• For all routers:

-- Add the appropr iate WAN circuits for the router’s hardware modules (see
Configuring and Managing Routers with Site Manager).

-- Make sure that you are running the latest version of Bay Networks Site
Manager and router softw are . F or instructions, see Upgrading Routers
fr om Version 7–11.xx to Version 12.00.

What's in This Chapter

This chapter describes how to access the physic al and data link layer (line)
services for the configured WAN circuits on a Bay Networks router.

In the OSI internetworking model, the physical layer manages the

Note:

transmission of bits acros s the physical media (for example, cable or modem
interface ); a physical layer protocol def ines the electrical and mechanical
interface . The data link layer defines the procedures for transferring data
accurately and relia bly across the physical layer.

Configuring WAN Line Services

What’s the Default Configuration?

With the exception of multichannel circuits (MCE1 and MCT1), router software
automatically se ts default va lues for line service parameters when you add a
network circuit.

Line defaults are suitable for most networks; however, you can use the
Configuration Manager tool to customize these settings based on your network
composition and requirements.

Starting the Configuration Tools

Before configuring WAN line services, refer to the following user guides for
instructions on how to start and use the Bay Networks conf iguration tool of your
choice.
