Re^4: x.25 with perl

[bh_perl]

hi..

is it i can used FTP to collect files from swicthes via X.25 protocol ?

There are no ip address on the swicthes side. But i have ip address on the cisco route.

So how could i collect files from the swicthes to our server ?

Hello again:

Yes, I am plan to tunnel IP via X.25. As your info, our server will connect into cisco router and the cisco router will connect into X.25 protocol to communicate with the swicthes. So, I plan to develop a perl program to collect files from the swicthes to our server via the connection.

If you are tunneling IP over X.25 as you answered above, your switches will have to have IP addresses. FTP is part of the TCP/IP stack and should be available for copying your files. I think you need to discuss these transport issues with your network engineer or Cisco rep. Or google "Cisco 9362" for a document that describes TCP/IP over X.25. It contains a nice diagram of what I think you are wanting to do.

What type of switch are you wanting to connect to? There could be more specific information on that topic on the Cisco site.

I didn't find any good information on the NEAX switches.

Is there a router at each switch or are all switches connected to one router over individual X.25 circuits? I saw where cisco can assign an X.121 address to a router port.

Are you actually wanting to transfer files or do you have to interface to some message based interface on the switch? What software is on the switch to do this?
