Configuring Interface Parameters Chapter 2 Using the Setup Command Facility IPX address for the remote interface: 40.0060.34c6.90ed 1-Port, 4-Wire 56-kbps DSU/CSU Configuration Setup This section describes using setup command facility to configure a 1-port, 4-wire 56-kbps DSU/CSU WAN interface card. It discusses the following: • Choosing Circuit-Switched or Dedicated-Line Service • Switched Mode • Dedicated Mode Choosing Circuit-Switched or Dedicated-Line Service The switched-56 WAN interface card is configured for dedicated or leased-line service by default, but it can also be configured for circuit-switched service. Depending on the type of data transmissions you typically use, you can configure the switched-56 WAN interface card for circuit-switched or dedicated-line service. Generally, circuit-switched service is ideal for short duration data transmissions or as an alternative route if a dedicated line fails. For example, circuit-switched service is ideal for sending electronic mail messages or doing such tasks as updating inventory and ordering records from one network database to another at the end of each day. Dedicated service is ideal for heavy network traffic. Dedicated service is ideal if you need a constant network connection or you need connection for more than eight hours per day. Switched Mode The following is an example of a 1-port, 4-wire 56-kbps DSU/CSU switched-mode configuration using the setup command facility: Do you want to configure Serial0/0 interface? [yes]: Some encapsulations supported are ppp/hdlc/frame-relay/lapb/atm-dxi/smds/x25 Choose encapsulation type [ppp]: Switched 56k interface may either be in switched/Dedicated mode Choose from either (switched/dedicated) [switched]: The following switched carrier types are to be set when in switched mode (at&t, sprint or other) Choose carrier (at&t/sprint/other) [other]: Do you want to map the remote machine's ip address in dialer map? [yes]: IP address for the remote interface : 1.0.0.2 Do you want to map the remote machine's ipx address in dialer map? [yes]: IPX address for the remote interface : 40.0060.34c6.90ed Note The setup command facility will ask for only one telephone number for both IP and IPX (if enabled). Please enter the phone number to call : 1234567890 Configure IP on this interface? [yes]: IP address for this interface: 1.0.0.1 Subnet mask for this interface [255.0.0.0] : Class A network is 1.0.0.0, 8 subnet bits; mask is /8 2-22 Software Configuration Guide for Cisco 2600 Series, Cisco 3600 Series, and Cisco 3700 Series Routers OL-1957-04
