Sonet C2 byte question

[scott.pressley]

Does Cisco recommend the C2 byte to be set to "16" for GSR-GSR or GSR-OSR connections? I did not list the OC speed because it is not an issue. So,I i have heard some people say "CF" and others "16".

Thanks,

Scott

I’ve heard 16 too.

c2 = 16hex means PPP scrambled

CF means PPP unscrambled.

It is always better to have it scrambled to maintain reliable connection,

although at low speeds scrambling can be disabled. At speeds above OC-192 scrambling is mandatory.
