Basic HDLC configuration example

As shown in Figure 73, Router A and Router B are connected by POS interfaces.

Run HDLC on the link between them.

1. Configure Router A:

   <RouterA> system-view
   [RouterA] interface pos 5/0
   [RouterA-Pos5/0] clock master
   [RouterA-Pos5/0] link-protocol hdlc
   [RouterA-Pos5/0] ip address 12.1.1.1 24
   [RouterA-Pos5/0] quit
   

2. Configure Router B:

   <RouterB> system-view
   [RouterB] interface pos 5/0
   [RouterB-Pos5/0] link-protocol hdlc
   [RouterB-Pos5/0] ip address 12.1.1.2 24
   

   After the configuration, Router A and Router B should be able to ping each other. Take the output on Router A as an example.

   [RouterA] ping 12.1.1.2
