Configuring Wide Area Networking Using X.25

This chapter describes the procedures for preparing your wide area bridge/router for X.25 wide area networking and describes how to configure your bridge/router to establish serial line connectivity through X.25. This chapter also describes how this wide area protocol works and gives guidelines for operating, managing, and troubleshooting it.

The wide area bridge/router supports bridging and routing of multiple protocols over X.25. The X25 Service allows your bridge/router to transmit and receive data over an X.25 private or public data network (PDN). (See Figure 361)
