Overview/Description
One of the most common types of WAN connection is the point-to-point connection. A point-to-point connection is also referred to as a serial connection or leased-line connection, because the lines are leased from a carrier and are dedicated for use by the company leasing the lines. Understanding how point-to-point communication links function to provide access to a WAN is important to an overall understanding of how WANs function. This course describes the protocols that are used to encapsulate both data link layer and network layer information over serial links and how to configure them. This course also describes the basic features and operation of RIP, and explains how to enable RIP on an IP network.
