Frame Relay

lately ive been studying frame relay.. and so there I was.. the moment of configuration..

i have this diagram from the book



now.. please correct me if im wrong..

this is a global addressing right?

if so, if i wanted to frame relay mayberry to mountpilot then i would use this command..

Mayberry
#int se0/0/0
#ip add 199.1.1.1 /24
#encap frame-relay
#frame-relay map ip 199.1.1.2 51 broadcast

now i was wondering, what if i wanted to add raleigh on my frame relay also, should i use the

#frame-relay map ip 199.1.1.3 51 broadcast

aswell?

shouldnt be the correct config for frame relay is

#frame-relay map ip <remote ip> <local dlci> broadcast


[/b]

somehow the book says the frame relay command
for mayberry is

#int se0/0/0
#frame-relay map ip 199.1.1.2 52 broadcast
#frame-relay map ip 199.1.1.3 53 broadcast

im confused whats the correct command, when i use a frame relay at packet tracer, the book's config

#frame-relay map ip <destination ip> <remote DLCI> broadcast

doesnt work..

but the

#frame-relay map ip <destination ip> <local DLCI> broadcast

works

This lab from TechExams.net really helped me understand and successfully configure a Frame Relay network.

Run through the lab, then compare your config to the labs.

well, thanks for posting that tho.. ive learned some new things.. but i would really appreciate if my specific problem would be answered..

The DLCI you should use is Local. However, The diagram above is not really clear weather those are local or remote because there should be more DLCIs there. Each connection (PVC) should show two DLCIs one at each end.

Check the diagram that ZiPPy posted or here for example:

www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk713/tk237/tec...8a7.shtml#netdiatop4

The config for the router on the left in this scenario should look something like this:

[code:1]interface Serial0
ip address 4.0.1.1 255.255.255.0
frame-relay map ip 4.0.1.2 140 broadcast
frame-relay map ip 4.0.1.3 130 broadcast
encapsulation frame-relay
[/code:1]

Notice that both 130 and 140 are local to the router.

My 1000 post here!! I love frame relay

That is an awesome link S0lo, and has come in very handy in troubleshooting my Frame Relay lab. I made a few changes according to that documentation that have really helped.

Congrats on the 1000 post too!!
