Configuring an SA interface
The synchronous/asynchronous serial (SA) interface supports PPP connection mode.
PPP is a link layer protocol that carries packets over point-to-point links. It has been widely used because
it can provide user authentication and allows for easy extension while supporting
synchronous/asynchronous communication.
PPP contains a set of protocols, including a LCP, a NCP, and authentication protocols such as PAP and
CHAP. Among these protocols:
•
The LCP is responsible for establishing, tearing down, and monitoring data links.
•
The NCP is used for negotiating the packet format and type of data links.
•
PAP and CHAP are for network security.
To configure an SA interface:
1.
Select
Interface Setup
>
WAN Interface Setup
from the navigation tree.
2.
Click the
icon for the SA interface.
3.
Configure the SA interface, as described in
