About Line Services
Ethernet, FDDI, and token ring services comprise the physical and data link layer
(
line
) services for configured LAN circuits on a Bay Networks router. This
chapter shows you how to access the those services on a Bay Networks router.
This guide assumes that the router’s configuration file includes Ethernet, FDDI, or
token ring network circuits. See

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.
