CSX WAN Configuration4-18Configuring the Frame Relay ProtocolOper StatusThe operational status of the bridge network protocol. Opened indicates that theinterface is operational for bridging. Not Opened indicates that bridging is notoperational on this interface.Local LanIdIndicates if the local node will include the LAN Identification field in transmittedpackets. If the value in this field is True, then the field will be transmitted with thepacket. If the value in the field is False, then the field will not be transmitted.Remote LanIdIndicates if the remote node will be including the LAN Identification field intransmitted packets. If the value is True, then the field will be transmitted withthe packet. If the value is False, then the field will not be transmitted.Local MediaDisplays the media type(s) of packets that the local PPP bridging entity willaccept. Possible media types are Enet Only, Token Only, and Enet/Token.Remote MediaDisplays the media type(s) of packets that the remote PPP bridging entity willaccept. Possible media types are Enet Only, Token Only, and Enet/Token.Configuring the Frame Relay ProtocolWhen you use Frame Relay protocol on your interface(s) all the communicationbetween the nodes goes through a switch before arriving at the destination node.If you are using Frame Relay Protocol on any of the interfaces on your WANconnection you should configure this protocol to work within your specificnetwork parameters. The Protocols button on the CSX WAN Configurationwindow will bring up the Frame Relay Configuration window. From this windowyou can configure the Frame Relay protocol and use the Circuits window toconfigure the individual circuits on each interface.To open the Frame Relay Configuration window:1. Click on . A pull down menu will appear.2. Drag down to Frame Relay and release. The Frame Relay Configurationwindow will appear.
