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.

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.
