The LAPB module implements one of the protocols in the Link layer
described by the Digital Network Architecture.
NOTE
For Tru64 UNIX, the WAN Device Drivers are provided as an
installable subset within the product HP Wide Area Network Support
for Tru64 UNIX. You must install this subset before you can refer
to LAPB module entities in an NCL command.
For OpenVMS, you must install the WAN Device Drivers from the
HP X.25 for OpenVMS product before you can refer to the LAPB
module entities in an NCL command.
1 – Subentities
The entity hierarchy of the LAPB module is:
Node___LAPB____Link
|
|_Port
The LAPB entity is the top-level entity in the LAPB module
hierarchy of entities. The LAPB module implements the LAPB
link-level protocol which is a variation of the HDLC link-level
protocol.
A LAPB LINK entity is associated with a port of the supporting
Physical layer, and contains attributes that describe local LAPB
operation. The simple-name refers to the link managed by this
command.
A LAPB PORT entity represents an access point for LAPB module
clients to Data Link layer services. The port-name refers to the
port managed by this command.
