Preface
Data compression is a routing feature that eliminates redundancy in data streams,
reducing the amount of bandwidth needed to transport LAN protocols over a wide
area. Bay Networks
®
routers and routing software support data compression over
frame relay, X.25, and PPP (dial-up or leased lines). This guide describes what
you do to start and customize data compression on a Bay Networks router.
You can use the Bay Command Console (BCC
™
) or Site Manager to configure
data compression on a router. In this guide, you will find instructions for using
both the BCC and Site Manager.
Before You Begin
Before using this guide, you must complete the following procedures. For a new
router:
• Install the router (see the installation guide that came with your router).
• Connect the router to the network and create a pilot configuration file (see
Quick-Starting Routers, Configuring BayStack Remote Access, or Connecting
ASN Routers to a Network).
Make sure that you are running the latest version of Bay Networks BayRS
™
and
Site Manager software. For information about upgrading BayRS and Site
Manager, see the upgrading guide for your version of BayRS.
