12.1 Introduction
Within the Inalp Networks AG SmartWare, an interface is a logical entity that provides higher-layer
protocol and service information, such as Layer 3 addressing. Interfaces are configured as part of a
context
and are independent of physical ports and circuits. The separation of the interface from the
physical layer allows for many of the advanced features offered by the SmartWare. For higher-layer
protocols to become active, a physical port or circuit must be bound to an interface. Therefore it is
possible to bind an IP interface physically to an Ethernet, SDSL or Frame Relay port, according to the
appropriate transport network layer.
12.2
