Overview: Configuring a Serial Interface on a T3 Channel
Step
Task
1.
Configure the SONET controller
parameters and STS stream.
2.
Configure the STS stream mode for
T3 and configure the T3 controller
parameters.
3.
Configure the Serial interfaces.
Cisco HDLC Encapsulation
Cisco High-Level Data Link Controller (HDLC) is the Cisco proprietary protocol for sending data over
synchronous serial links using HDLC. Cisco HDLC also provides a simple control protocol called Serial
Line Address Resolution Protocol (SLARP) to maintain serial link keepalives. HDLC is the default
encapsulation type for serial interfaces under Cisco IOS XR software. Cisco HDLC is the default for
data encapsulation at Layer 2 (data link) of the Open System Interconnection (OSI) stack for efficient
packet delineation and error control.
Cisco HDLC is the default encapsulation type for the serial interfaces.
Note
Cisco HDLC uses keepalives to monitor the link state, as described in the
page
Use the debug chdlc slarp packet command to display information about the Serial Line Address
Note
Resolution Protocol (SLARP) packets that are sent to the peer after the keepalive timer has been
configured.
PPP Encapsulation
PPP is a standard protocol used to send data over synchronous serial links. PPP also provides a Link
Control Protocol (LCP) for negotiating properties of the link. LCP uses echo requests and responses to
monitor the continuing availability of the link.
When an interface is configured with PPP encapsulation, a link is declared down, and full LCP
Note
negotiation is re-initiated after five ECHOREQ packets are sent without receiving an ECHOREP
response.
PPP provides the following Network Control Protocols (NCPs) for negotiating properties of data
protocols that will run on the link:
