Interface Configuration
7750 SR OS Interface Configuration Guide Page 383
The no form of this command restores the default.
Default bcp-null 
Parameters atm — Specifies that the encapsulation on the port is ATM.
bcp-null — Only a single service is configured on this channel and IEEE 802.1Q tags are not used as 
a service delimiter. Any IEEE 802.1Q tags encountered are regarded as part of the customer 
payload and transparently forwarded. When bcp-null encapsulation is specified, the PPP Bridge 
Control Protocol (BCP) is activated and all packets on this access port will be encapsulated in 
accordance with the BCP protocol.
Note that null ports will accept q-tagged frames.
bcp-dot1q — Ingress frames carry IEEE 802.1Q tags and the tags are used as service delimiter. Any 
untagged packets are silently discarded with exception of protocol specific packets. When bcp-
dot1q encapsulation is specified, the PPP Bridge Control Protocol (BCP) is activated and all 
packets on this access port will be encapsulated in accordance with the BCP protocol.
ipcp — Ingress frames are encapsulated according to the IP Control Protocol. When ipcp 
encapsulation is specified, the PPP IP Control Protocol will be activated and only packets that 
comply with IPCP encapsulation are processed; others are silently discarded.
ppp-auto — Enables PPP on the associated port/channel.  The activation of ipcp and mplscp is 
automatically enabled depending on the protocol configuration.  This encap type is only valid on 
ports/channels in network mode.
frame-relay  — Enables frame relay on the associated port/channel.
wan-mirror — The port is used for mirroring of frame-relay and POS ports. On these ports, no link 
management protocol would run.
cisco-hdlc — Monitors line status on a serial interface by exchanging keepalive request messages 
with peer network devices.
ppp

Description This command enables access to the context to configure the LCP operational parameters for a 
SONET/SDH Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) link.
