Introduction

This document discusses LAN2LAN/X.25 and XCI - X.25 Network Types.

Prerequisites

Requirements

There are no specific requirements for this document.

Components Used

This document is not restricted to specific software and hardware versions.

Network Types

Both the LAN²LAN/X.25 and XCI configuration allow you to select a Network Type for each line on the Link Main Parameters menu. This Network Type has these choices:

  • N/A

  • DDN

  • Telenet/Sprintnet

  • Point-to-point (not used in XCI)

You should normally select N/A unless you see your network type in this list.

If you select DDN, then LAN²LAN or XCI plays a passive role in setting up the link and waits for the DDN network to get in touch with it. This is a requirement for Department of Defense Networks.

If you select Sprintnet, then LAN²LAN or XCI changes its behavior to conform to Sprintnet requirements. These are as follows:

  1. Calls are rejected if they contain any facility code not listed here:
