Implementation Notes
This chapter provides information about the Bay Networks implementation of
SMDS. Specifically, it contains information about the router’s DXI protocol
requirements and the Local Management Interface protocol. This chapter also
supplies details on the use of SMDS group and individual addresses for multinet
and multigroup configurations.
To implement high-speed SMDS, you need a Bay Networks router and an SMDS
DSU/CSU that provides DS1- or DS3-based access to the switched SMDS
network. A synchronous or high-speed serial interface (HSSI) physically connects
the router and the DSU/CSU (Figure
2-1).

The router also supports low-speed SMDS through the SNI and DXI
specifications standardized by the SMDS Interest Group. If you are running
low-speed SMDS, you can extend the DXI to the SMDS network, thereby
eliminating the need for a special SMDS DSU/CSU. Any synchronous interface,
including MCT1 or MCE1 link modules, physically connects the router and the
network (Figure
2-2).
