Configuring Data Compression Services
2-12
117352-B Rev. 00
If a router using software version 12.10 software is communicating with a router
using software prior to version 12.10, the routers must negotiate WCP below the
bundle, so the thresholds will be based on uncompressed data.
To configure these thresholds, refer to Configuring Dial Services.
PPP Dial-on-Demand
Dial-on-demand service enables you to establish a circuit only when you want to
transmit and receive data, as opposed to having a leased line, which is always
available. By using a circuit on a demand basis, you can significantly reduce your
line costs.
PPP Dial Backup
PPP also allows you to configure dial backup service. If a primary PPP line fails
and you have enabled dial backup, the router automatically establishes a backup
line. You cannot enable any protocols, including compression, on a backup circuit,
because a backup circuit inherits its protocols from the primary circuit. If the
primary circuit uses compression, then the backup circuit does also.
For more information on Bay Networks dial services, refer to Configuring Dial
Services.
Frame Relay Services
You can use software (WCP or Stac LZS) or hardware data compression with
frame relay. You can use compression with some virtual circuits (VCs), and not
with others, as you choose, both for regular frame relay VCs, and for those you
configure in hybrid mode. You can also use compression with dial-on-demand and
dial backup services.
You must enable compression on both sides of a frame relay link. If you enable
data compression on only one side of the link, data transmission occurs, but in
uncompressed form.
