Getting Started
This chapter describes how to access the physical and data link layer (
line
)
services for configured LAN circuits on a Bay Networks router.
What’s the Default Configuration?
Router software automatically sets default values for line service parameters when
you add an Ethernet, FDDI, or token ring circuit.
Line defaults are suitable for many networks; however, you can use the
Configuration Manager to customize the default settings based on your network
composition and requirements.
See Appendix B for a list of the default Ethernet, FDDI, and token ring line
service parameter values.
Note:
In the OSI internetworking model, the
physical layer
manages the
transmission of bits across the physical media (for example, cable or modem
interface); a physical layer protocol defines the electrical and mechanical
interface. The
data link layer
defines the procedures for transferring data
accurately and reliably across the physical layer.
