Usage Examples
The following example creates a Frame Relay endpoint and connects it to the T1 1/1 physical interface:
1. Create the Frame Relay virtual endpoint and set the signaling method:
(config)# interface frame-relay 1
(config-fr 1)# frame-relay lmi-type cisco
2. Create the sub-interface and configure the PVC parameters (including DLCI and IP address):
(config-fr 1)# interface fr 1.1
(config-fr 1.1)# frame-relay interface-dlci 17
(config-fr 1.1)# ip address 168.125.33.252 255.255.255.252
3. Create the TDM group of 12 DS0s (64K) on the T1 physical interface:
(THIS STEP IS ONLY VALID FOR T1 INTERFACES.)
(config)# interface t1 1/1
(config-t1 1/1)# tdm-group 1 timeslots 1-12 speed 64
(config-t1 1/1)# exit
4. Connect the Frame Relay sub-interface with port T1 1/1:
(config)# cross-connect 1 t1 1/1 1 fr 1
Technology Review
Creating an endpoint that uses a layer 2 protocol (such as Frame Relay) is generally a four-step process:
Step 1:
Create the Frame Relay virtual endpoint (using the interface frame-relay command) and set the signaling
method (using the frame-relay lmi-type command). Also included in the Frame Relay virtual endpoint are all the
applicable Frame Relay timers logging thresholds, encapsulation types, etc. Generally, most Frame Relay virtual
interface parameters should be left at their default state. For example, the following creates a Frame Relay
interface labeled 7 and sets the signaling method to ansi.
(config)# interface frame-relay 7
(config-fr 7)# frame-relay lmi-type ansi
