12.2 DEPLOYING AND CONFIGURING SIMULATION
MODELS WITH DATA LINK LAYER TECHNOLOGIES
To deploy a particular data link technology requires placing node and link models that
support that technology within the project workspace. You can identify the data link
protocols supported by a node or a link model based on its name. Link, end node (e.g.,
workstations and servers), and hub models typically support a single data link layer
technology, while switches and layer 3 devices can have interfaces that run differ-
ent data link technologies. For example, models ATM_E1, 1000Base_X_adv, FDDI,
FR_link, TR16, and sl_x25_int represent ATM, Ethernet, FDDI, FR, TR, and X.25
links, respect
