Introduction
X.25 is an International Telecommunication Union-Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) protocol standard for WAN communications that defines how connections between user devices and network devices are established and maintained. It is typically used in the packet-switched networks (PSNs) of common carriers, such as the telephone companies.
Local switching (available in Cisco IOS® Software Release 11.1 and later) allows a single router to provide media conversion between Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC) and Token Ring and between Qualified Logical Link Control (QLLC) and LAN. This is useful in environments that need simplified Systems Network Architecture (SNA) network design and improved availability.
