Create the Frame Relay Interface

To begin configuring Frame Relay as the Data Link Layer protocol for an E1,
T1, or serial interface, you must create a logical interface. From the global
configuration mode context, enter:
Syntax: interface <interface> <number>
Replace <interface> with frame-relay; you can also use the shortcut fr.
Replace <number> with any number between 1 and 1024. Each Frame Relay
interface that you create on the router must have a unique number.
For example, if you are configuring the first Frame Relay interface on the
router, you might enter:
ProCurve(config)# interface frame-relay 1
The router prompt indicates that you have entered the proper interface
configuration mode context:
ProCurve(config-fr 1)#
Frame Relay
Switch (DCE)
Each Frame Relay switch
keeps a table of PVC
endpoints and their DLCI.
