[c-nsp] cisco frame-relay termination without a frame switch -update

[P.A]

Just putting this out there in case it helps someone.

 

This example shows a 7200 with two connected routers. I also got fram-relay
termination working with a 6500 but that platform does not seems to support
the command needed to create frame-relay PVC's the frame-relay route
command.

 

Another thing I found for some reason on the 7200 I had to disable
frame-relay inverse arp with the frame-relay map command for it to work. On
the 6500 this was not an issue. I also noticed on the 7200 that on some
interfaces for whatever reason, int ser5/0:1  I needed to have the
frame-relay map statement for 1.1.1.1 to be able to ping it. This again was
not an issue on the 6500. Also remember you will need frame-relay switching
command in global config mode for the router to be turned into a
frame-switch. Hope this helps someone.

 

Thanks, Paul

Subject: cisco frame-relay termination without a frame switch

 

Hi, we have a frame-relay switch that is no longer working. we have 28 t1s
on a channelized T3. I was wondering if anyone knows how and if it's
possible to terminate frame lines on a cisco, either a 7200 or 6500 without
a frame switch.

I followed the example here, 

http://www.ciscopress.com/articles/article.asp?p=170741
<http://www.ciscopress.com/articles/article.asp?p=170741&seqNum=7>
&amp;seqNum=7

but this will not work for me as it assumes you have 2 different frame-relay
circuits on two different t1 ports. I'm using a PA MC T# canrd and I also
tried creating sub interfaces off the t1 channel, but when I use the
frame-relay route command I gives me an error that both DLCIs are on the
same interface L.



All I'm trying to do is terminate a frame-relay on a cisco without a
frame-relay switch. if this possible could someone give me an example or
point me in that direction.

thanks! paul
