Overview
When the frame relay interface type is DCE or NNI, the interface (either main
interface or subinterface) must be manually configured with virtual circuits. When
the frame relay interface type is DTE, for the main interface, the system will
determine the virtual circuit automatically according to the peer device, and the
main interface can also be manually configured with virtual circuits; for
subinterface, it is required to manually configure virtual circuits.
A virtual circuit number is unique on a physical interface.

Overview
A device with frame relay switching function enabled can act as a frame relay
switch. In this scenario, the frame relay interface should be NNI or DCE and it is
required to perform corresponding configuration on the two or more interfaces
used for frame relay switching before the frame relay switching function can work.
To configure frame relay switching, you can configure static routes for frame relay
switching in interface view or configure PVC for frame relay switching in system
view.
