Reloading Auxiliary Console Initialization
Initiating Frame Relay Backup Switchover/Switchback
On-line Operations
It should be noted that pinging an FRM interface will verify only connectivity to that
FRM. Using the example in Figure 18-4, if the operator at device A wants to ping
device B, s/he must ping device B's IP address.
To ping Node 1, the operator at device A must ping the IP address of interface 1. To
ping Node B, the operator must ping interface 3. To locate a connectivity problem
between A and B, the operator at device A should first ping interface 1. If a response
is received, the operator at A should then ping interface 3, then (if a response is
received) device B.

Frame Relay Backup
DLCIs (see Chapter 7) can be configured to automatically
become operational a set time after failure of a primary DLCI, and to switch back to
the primary a set time after the primary becomes operational again. These automatic
settings can be overridden via Frame Relay Backup Operations (
Menu).
From the Frame Relay Backup Operations Menu:
