How is Cisco’s HDLC protocol different that ISO’s HDLC?
Cisco adds a Type field that allows the serial line to support multiple types of network layer packets

- Flag
- Address
- Control
- Type
- Data
- FCS

- encapsulation HDLC
What 2 ‘show’ commands that confirm a serial link has been successfully installed?
- show controllers s0/0/0
- show interfaces s0/0/0
What 5 things does PPP provide?
- defines a header and trailer
- supports both synchronous and asynchronous
- Protocol Type field allowing multiple layer 3 protocols
- Built-in authentication tools
- control protocols for each higher-layer protocol riding over PPP
In PPP frame what does the Type field do?
Identifies which L3 protocol is in the frame
