Getting Started
Ethernet, FDDI, and token ring services comprise the physical and data link layer
(line) services for configured LAN circuits on a Nortel Networks router. This
chapter shows you how to access those services on a Nortel Networks router.
This guide assumes that the router’s configuration file includes Ethernet, FDDI, or
token ring network circuits. See Configuring and Managing Routers with Site
Manager for information about adding circuits.
Note:
In the OSI internetworking model, the physical layer manages the
transmission of bits across the physical media (for example, cable or modem
interface); the physical layer protocol defines the electrical and mechanical
interface. The data link layer defines the procedures for transferring data
accurately and reliably across the physical layer.
