Selecting Software or Hardware Compression
When you configure a VC for compression, the default compression type varies
(Table 3-4
).
You can use software compression with a hardware compression daughterboard or
net module. Bay Networks recommends that you use hardware compression for
connections operating at speeds greater than 512 Kb/s. You should specify
software compression for VCs in excess of the number of contexts your hardware
compression daughterboard or net module can support.
Using the BCC
To specify hardware or software compression for a line or circuit, navigate to the
appropriate prompt (for example,
box
;
serial 3/1
;
ppp
;
wcp
), and enter:
engine-type <
type
>
type is hardware or software.
For example:
box#
serial 3/1
serial/3/1#
ppp
ppp/3/1#
wcp
wcp/3/1#
engine-type software
wcp/3/1#
