To place a line into dedicated asynchronous mode using SLIP or PPP encapsulation, use theasync mode dedicated interface configuration command. Use the no form of this command to return the line to interactive mode.
async mode dedicated
no async mode dedicated
This command has no arguments or keywords.
Asynchronous mode is disabled.
Interface configuration
| Release | Modification | 10.0 | This command was introduced. |
|---|
With dedicated asynchronous network mode, the interface will use either SLIP or PPP encapsulation, depending on which encapsulation method is configured for the interface. An EXEC prompt does not appear, and the router is not available for normal interactive use.
If you configure a line for dedicated mode, you will not be able to use the async dynamic addresscommand, because there is no user prompt.
The following example assigns an IP address to an asynchronous line and places the line into network mode. Setting the stop bits to 1 enhances performance.

| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| async mode interactive | Return a line that has been placed into dedicated asynchronous network mode to interactive mode, thereby enabling the slip and ppp EXEC commands. |
