Configuring Cards and Protocols 5-3RLP Parameters1 The size of each protocol determines the combinations of protocols that can be con-figured on an RLP. (See explanation.)Protocolspecifies which protocols will run on the RLP. When a new node is started up, X.25and a software function called CONFIG will be loaded onto the RLP. When you con-figure a new record, X.25 and CONFIG will already be displayed as installed. Foreach remaining protocol, the available choices will be those protocols not alreadyspecified that will fit on the RLP.When configuring protocols, follow these guidelines:l All supported protocols will fit on one RLP; however, as an entire database(interfaces, subscribers, route tables, etc.) is configured, much more memory isused. For that reason, it is recommended that no more than seven protocols(including X.25) be configured on any one RLP.l RIP is a valid choice only if IP is already configured.l If SNMP is configured, IP must also be configured.l If LLC2 is configured, BRIDGE must also be configured.l If NVSP is configured, LLC2 and BRIDGE must also be configured.LAN CardTo configure a MAC address for the LAN card, press [B] at the Port ConfigurationMenu. When prompted for an Interface Number, press [Enter], accepting the default(and only valid value) of 0.Table 5-1 RLP ParametersParameter Valid Values Default ValueProtocol "n" None, X.25, Frame Relay, Async,SDLC, BSC-I, BSC-B, IP, SNMP, RIP,LLC2, IPX, NVSP, BRIDGEnext in list not alreadyconfigured, among theones that will fit 1
