Using Sub-interfaces for Frame Relay PVCs
To support Frame Relay PVCs, you must add sub-interfaces on the serial0 or serial1
interface using the configure interfaces add-sub command. Sub-interface names take
the form serialn.nnn where n =
DLCI mapped to it before IP data can be forwarded on the sub-interface. Use the configure
frame-relay interface-dlci command to assign a DLCI to a sub-interface and then
configure its IP encapsulation. Once added, sub-interfaces can be assigned an IP address, etc.
IP Addresses
The SC-IP is a routing network device that provides IP connectivity to other devices at a remote
site. Each network interface on the SC-IP requires a unique numeric IP address which provides the
network prefix and the host number. Addresses are expressed in dotted decimal notation which
defines the 32-bit IP address in four 8-bit fields (or 'four octets'), e.g., 195.88.11.4. Each octet
has a value from 000 to 255.
Using the traditional Class A, B, and C network architectures, one or more octets would be allocated
to the network prefix and host number. The more octets allocated to a network prefix, the larger the
number of networks anticipated; likewise, the more octets allocated to a host number, the larger the
number of hosts anticipated.
