LAPB configuration example

Network requirements

As shown in Figure 135, run IP on the interfaces to transmit IP datagrams.

Configuration procedure

  1. Configure Router A:

    # Enter interface view.

    <RouterA> system-view
    [RouterA] interface serial 2/0
    

    # Assign an IP address for the interface.

    [RouterA-Serial2/0] ip address 10.1.1.2 255.0.0.0
    

    # Configure the link layer protocol of the interface as LAPB, and specify it to operate in DTE mode.

    [RouterA -Serial2/0] link-protocol lapb dte
    

    # Configure other LAPB parameters.

    [RouterA-Serial2/0] lapb modulo 128
    [RouterA-Serial2/0] lapb window-size 127
    [RouterA-Serial2/0] shutdown
    [RouterA-Serial2/0] undo shutdown
    
  2. Configure Router B:

    # Enter interface view.

    <RouterB> system-view
    [RouterB] interface serial 2/0
    

    # Assign an IP address for the interface.

    [RouterB-Serial2/0] ip address 10.1.1.1 255.0.0.0
    

    # Configure the link layer protocol of the interface as LAPB, and specify it to operate in DCE mode.

    [RouterB-Serial2/0] link-protocol lapb dce
    

    # Configure other LAPB parameters.

    [RouterB-Serial2/0] lapb modulo 128
    [RouterB-Serial2/0] lapb window-size 127
    [RouterB-Serial2/0] shutdown
    [RouterB-Serial2/0] undo shutdown
    

    The IP addresses of the two connected interfaces must be on the same network segment. If they are not on the same network segment, configure a static route in between and make sure the traffic control parameters of both sides are the same.
