Serial Tunnel and Block Serial Tunnel Commands

---

Cisco's serial tunnel (STUN) feature allows Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC) or High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) devices to connect to one another through a multiprotocol internetwork rather than through a direct serial link. STUN encapsulates SDLC frames in either the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) or the HDLC protocol. STUN provides a straight passthrough of all SDLC traffic (including control frames, such as Receiver Ready) end-to-end between Systems Network Architecture (SNA) devices.

Cisco's SDLC local acknowledgment provides local termination of the SDLC session so that control frames no longer travel the WAN backbone networks. This means end nodes do not time out, and a loss of sessions does not occur. You can configure your network with STUN, or with STUN and SDLC local acknowledgment. To enable SDLC local acknowledgment, the Cisco IOS software must first be enabled for STUN and routers configured to appear on the network as primary or secondary SDLC nodes. TCP/IP encapsulation must be enabled. Cisco's SDLC Transport feature also provides priority queuing for TCP encapsulated frames.

Cisco's block serial tunnel (BSTUN) implementation enables Cisco series 2500, 4000, and 4500 routers to support devices that use the Binary Synchronous Communications (Bisync) data link protocol. This enables enterprises to transport Bisync traffic and SNA multiprotocol traffic over the same network.

Use the commands in this chapter to configure BSTUN, Bisync, STUN, and SDLC local acknowledgment networks. For STUN and BSTUN configuration information and examples, refer to the "Configuring Serial Tunnel and Block Serial Tunnel" chapter in the Bridging and IBM Networking Configuration Guide.

stun group

Use the stun group interface configuration command to place each STUN-enabled interface on a router in a previously defined STUN group. Use the no form of this command to remove an interface from a group.

stun group group-number
no stun group group-number

Syntax Description

group-number

Integer in the range 1 to 255.

Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

Before using this command, complete the following steps:

---

Step 1 Enable STUN on a global basis with the stun peer-name command.

Step 2 Define the protocol group in which you want to place this interface with the stun protocol-group command.

Step 3 Enable STUN on the interface using the encapsulation stun command.

Packets only travel between STUN-enabled interfaces that are in the same group. Once a given serial link is configured for the STUN function, it is no longer a shared multiprotocol link. All traffic that arrives on the link is transported to the corresponding peer as determined by the current STUN configuration.

Example

The following example places serial interface 0 in STUN group 2, which is defined to run the SDLC transport:

! sample stun peer-name global command

stun peer-name 131.108.254.6

! sample protocol-group command telling group 2 to use the SDLC protocol 

stun protocol-group 2 sdlc

!

interface serial 0

! sample ip address subcommand

no ip address

! sample encapsulation stun subcommand

stun protocol-group

Use the stun protocol-group global configuration command to create a protocol group. Use the no form of this command to remove an interface from the group.

stun protocol-group group-number {basic | sdlc [sdlc-tg] | schema}
no stun protocol-group

Syntax Description

group-number	Integer in the range 1 to 255.
basic	Indicates a non-SDLC protocol.
sdlc	Indicates an SDLC protocol.
sdlc-tg	(Optional) Identifies the group as part of an SNA transmission group.
schema	Indicates a custom protocol.

Default

No protocol group established.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

Use the sdlc keyword to specify an SDLC protocol. You must specify either the sdlc or the sdlc-tg keyword before you can enable SDLC local acknowledgment. SDLC local acknowledgment is established with the stun route address tcp command.

Use the basic keyword to specify a non-SDLC protocol, such as HDLC.

Use the schema keyword to specify a custom protocol. The custom protocol must have been previously created with the stun schema command.

Use the optional sdlc-tg keyword, in conjunction with the sdlc keyword, to establish an SNA transmission group. A transmission group is a set of protocol groups providing parallel links to the same pair of IBM establishment controllers. This provides redundancy of paths. In case one or more links go down, an alternate path will be used. All STUN connections in a transmission group must connect to the same IP address. SDLC local acknowledgment must be enabled.

---

Note   If you specify the keyword sdlc in the stun protocol group command string, you cannot specify the stun route all command on that interface.

---

Examples

The following example specifies that group 7 will use the SDLC STUN protocol to route frames within that group:

stun protocol-group 7 sdlc

The following example specifies that group 5 use the basic protocol, wherein the serial addressing is unimportant and you have a point-to-point link:

stun protocol-group 5 basic

stun quick-response

Use the stun quick-response global configuration command to enable STUN quick-response, which can be used with local acknowledgment. Use the no form of this command to disable STUN quick-response.

stun quick-response
no stun quick-response

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

STUN quick-response is disabled.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3(5).

This command is used with local acknowledgment (local ack).

When STUN quick-response is enabled, the router responds to an exchange identification (XID) or a Set Normal Response Mode (SNRM) request with a Disconnect Mode (DM) response when the device is not in the CONNECT state. The request is then passed to the remote router and, if the device responds, the reply is cached. The next time the device is sent an XID or SNRM, the router replies with the cached DM response.

---

Note   Using STUN quick-response avoids an AS/400 line reset problem by eliminating the Non-Productive Receive Timer (NPR) expiration in the AS/400. With quick-response enabled, the AS/400 receives a response from the polled device, even when the device is down. If the device does not respond to the forwarded request, the router continues to respond with the cached DM response.

---

Example

The following example enables STUN quick-response:

stun quick-response

TCP encapsulation is not established; TCP queue size default is 100.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0. The tcp-queue-max keyword first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1.

SDLC Transport participates in SDLC windowing and retransmission through support of local acknowledgment. SDLC sessions require that end nodes send acknowledgments for a set amount of data frames received before allowing further data to be transmitted. Local acknowledgment provides local termination of the SDLC session, so that control frames no longer travel the WAN backbone networks. This means end nodes do not time out, and a loss of sessions does not occur.

Example

In the following example, a frame with a source-route address of 10 is propagated using TCP encapsulation to a device with an IP address of 131.108.8.1:

stun route address 10 tcp 131.108.8.1

stun route all interface serial

Use the stun route all interface serial interface configuration command to encapsulate and forward all STUN traffic using HDLC encapsulation on a serial interface.

stun route all interface serial number [direct]

Syntax Description

number	Number assigned to the serial interface.
direct	(Optional) Indicates that the specified interface is also a direct STUN link, rather than a serial connection to another peer.

Default

No default is specified.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

An appropriately configured router must exist on the other end of the designated serial line. The outgoing serial link still can be used for other kinds of traffic (the frame is not TCP encapsulated). This mode is used when TCP/IP encapsulation is not needed or when higher performance is required. Enter the serial line number connected to the router for the interface-number argument.

Examples

In the following example, all traffic on serial interface 0 is propagated using STUN encapsulation:

stun route all interface serial 0

In the following example, serial interface 1 is a direct STUN link, not a serial connection to another peer:

stun route all interface serial 1 direct

Related Command

Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

TCP/IP encapsulation allows movement of serial frames across arbitrary media types and topologies. This is particularly useful for building shared, multiprotocol enterprise network backbones.

Example

In the following example, all STUN traffic received will be propagated through the bridge:

stun route all tcp 131.108.10.1

stun schema offset length format

Use the stun schema offset length format global configuration command to define a protocol other than SDLC for use with STUN. Use the no form of this command to disable the new protocol.

stun schema name offset constant-offset length address-length format format-keyword
no stun schema name offset constant-offset length address-length format format-keyword

Syntax Description

name	Name that defines your protocol. It can be up to 20 characters in length.
constant-offset	Constant offset, in bytes, for the address to be found in the frame.
address-length	Length in one of the following formats: decimal (4 bytes), hexadecimal (8 bytes), or octal (4 bytes).
format-keyword	Format to be used to specify and display addresses for routes on interfaces that use this STUN protocol. The allowable format keywords are decimal (0 to 9), hexadecimal (0 to F), and octal (0 to 7).

Default

No protocol is defined.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

Use this command before defining the protocol group (stun protocol-group command). The serial protocol you define must meet the following criteria:

•The protocol uses full-duplex conventions (RTS/CTS always high).

•The protocol uses standard HDLC checksum and framing (beginning/end of frames, data between frames).

•Addresses are contained in a constant location (offset) within the frame.

•Addresses are found on a byte boundary.

Example

In the following example, a protocol named new-sdlc is created. In the protocol frame structure, the constant offset is 0, the address length is 1 byte, and the address format is hexadecimal:

stun schema new-sdlc offset 0 length 1 format hexadecimal
