Framing Support

Table 3-3. IBM 2212 Framing Method Support

Framing Method IBM 2212 Models
Token-Ring yes
10/100 Mbps Ethernet yes
PPP yes
Frame Relay yes
X.25 yes
V.25bis yes
V.34 yes
Binary Synchronous Communication (BSC)² yes
SDLC (both primary and secondary)¹ yes
ISDN (both basic rate [BRI] and primary rate [PRI]) yes

Notes:

SDLC SNA traffic can be handled either natively using an SDLC interface and DLSw or APPN, or tunneled over IPv4 using the SDLC Relay function.
Bisync framing is handled by configuring a Bisync interface on a WAN adapter and using the Binary Synchronous (BSC) Relay function to tunnel the Bisync packets over IPv4.
