Configuring the Serial Interface
The Cisco 800M Series Integrated Services Router (ISR) provides serial WAN connectivity to remote
sites using Cisco High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC), Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), or Frame Relay
encapsulation through the pluggable, serial WAN interface module. The Cisco 800M Series ISR supports
both synchronous and asynchronous modes of communication.
Features Supported by Serial Module
The Cisco 800M Series ISR has 2 WAN slots that can host single-port serial module or multi-mode 3G
module and supports the following combinations.

    • Cisco HDLC Encapsulation Cisco High-Level Data Link Controller (HDLC) is the Cisco proprietary protocol for sending data over synchronous serial links. Cisco HDLC also provides a simple control protocol called Serial Line Address Resolution Protocol (SLARP) to maintain serial link keepalives. Cisco HDLC is the default for data encapsulation at Layer 2 (data link) of the Open System Interconnection (OSI) stack for efficient packet delineation and error control.

  • Page 5: Keepalive Timer

    • Keepalive Timer Cisco keepalives are useful for monitoring the link state. Periodic keepalives are sent to and received from the peer at a frequency determined by the value of the keepalive timer. If an acceptable keepalive response is not received from the peer, the link makes the transition to the down state. As soon as an acceptable keepalive response is obtained from the peer or if keepalives are disabled, the link makes the transition to the up state.

    ECHOREQ packets to its peer. To restore the system to the default keepalive interval of 10 seconds, use the keepalive command with the no keyword. To disable keepalives, use the keepalive disable command. For both PPP and Cisco HDLC, a keepalive of 0 disables keepalives and is reported in the show running-config command output as keepalive disable.

    LMI on Frame Relay Interfaces The Local Management Interface (LMI) protocol monitors the addition, deletion, and status of PVCs. LMI also verifies the integrity of the link that forms a Frame Relay UNI interface. By default, cisco LMI is enabled on all PVCs.
