Enabling SDLC encapsulation on an interface
The SDLC is a link layer protocol relative to the SNA. Its working principle is similar to HDLC. For
DLSw to work correctly, enable SDLC encapsulation on the synchronous serial interface.
To enable SDLC encapsulation on an interface:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.

N/A
2. Enter interface view.

N/A
3. Enable SDLC encapsulation
on the interface.
link-protocol sdlc
PPP encapsulation by default.
The SDLC link layer protocol cannot underlie the IP protocol, so all the IP-related configurations on
the interface must be removed before you enable SDLC encapsulation on the interface. For example,
you must delete the IP address of the interface.
Enabling DLSw forwarding on an SDLC interface
With DLSw forwarding enabled on the SDLC interface, all local SNA devices connected to the
interface will be able to communicate with the remote device through DLSw.
To enable DLSw forwarding on an SDLC interface:
