Hello Forum,
I am not sure if this is the right forum to open this conversation or if I have to discuss this with the remote access forum.
We are trying to establish a connection between a AS/400 and an IBM 3745 through x.25 connection.
Currently the connection goes like:
{AS/400}--[modem]--x.25--[modem]--(router)--{FEP}
and the channel is PVC. The (router) is motorola.
We want to insert between AS/400 and modem a cisco
router so the connection will be like:
{AS/400}-(cisco)-[modem]-x.25-[modem]-(router)-{FEP}
So we have to configure two x25 serial interfaces on cisco router one pointing to AS/400 and the other to the opposite site. I am thinking of coding the following:
!
interface Serial0/0
description "Link to other site"
no ip address
encapsulation x25
no ip mroute-cache
x25 htc 16
x25 ips 256
x25 ops 256
x25 facility packetsize 1024 1024
bridge-group 1
!
!
interface Serial0/2
description "Link to AS400"
no ip address
encapsulation x25 dce
x25 htc 16
x25 ips 256
x25 ops 256
x25 facility packetsize 1024 1024
clockrate 9600
no cdp enable
bridge-group 1
!
bridge 1 protocol ieee
I have not entered anywhere the x.121 addresses. I suppose I have to configure the local x.121 address at AS/400 configuration.
What do you think of the following configuration?
How can I see if the connection is up?

You could try out with your configuration. It looks good to me. You could also refer to the following URL to get a better
understanding on how to configure cisco routers for X.25 connections. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps1826/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a00800d9bc8.html

I tried out the configuration and it worked! I forgot to define the x.25 routes. However, with the addition of the x25 route command it works just fine. The cisco router just switches the x25 packets from one interface to the other.
Anyway, thanks for the information Sam.
