The Solstice X.25 9.2 product contains the following components:
Layer 3 of the ITU-T X.25 Recommendation is known as the X.25 Packet Layer. Sometimes this is shortened to just X.25.
Logical Link Control Class 2. This provides the datalink layer for 802 LANs, such as Ethernet, Token Ring and FDDI.
Link Access Procedure Balanced. This provides the datalink layer over WAN interfaces.
MultiLink Procedure. This provides the datalink layer allowing a DTE and a DCE to connect using more than one WAN interface.
The driver for the SCiiExpress-X card used by the x86 version of the product.
The driver for the loopback interface.
A pseudo-device that lets applications access the PAD software to make outgoing calls.
The Packet Assembler/Dissassembler software. This allows you to make PAD calls to remote machines that are running X.25.
The software that listens for incoming PAD calls and determines how they are to be treated.
Printing is routed through an X.25 server, making it possible for a user to print to the local printer even if the user is logged in remotely.
The three ITU-T software implementation recommendations --X.3, X.28 and X29-- that control operation of the PAD. They are often referred to as the triple X standards.
Software providing an interface between IP, the Internet Protocol and the X.25 Packet Layer.
The Domain Manager agent (formerly known as SunNet Manager agent) allows access to the MIB through the RPC protocol.
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent allows access to the MIB through the SNMP.
This optional facility enables the X.25 administration software to define a list of authorized remote stations.
The Solstice X.25 9.2 product, together with the software provided with the Solaris 2.x operating software, is enough to make full use of the facilities offered by X.25. You can also interwork with the other Sun products shown in Figure 1-2.
