Does anyone know how to set up a frame relay system?

| The kit I have available is:
1 x 2514
1 x 2620 (with 2 5-in-1 serial modules)
1 x 2501
2 x 2502's
1 x 2524 (with 2 5-in-1 serial modules & a BRI Module)
Any ideas ppl? and if it is even possible or should I try getting a 4500 with a 4-in-1 serial module?
And NO I have not looked at the Cisco site yet... | |

| You are saying you want to set up a frame-realay switch right?
In other words you want to designate your router as a framerealay cloud/switch.
If so, it's pretty simple.
You'll need a router with multiple serial interfaces.
And apply these commands after setting up your other 2 routers as you frame-relay dte with a dlci of 100 and 200.
router(config)#frame-relay switching
router(config)#int s0
router(config-if)#encap frame-relay
router(config-if)#frame-relay interface-type dce
router(config-if)#frame-relay route 100 interface s1 200
router(config-if)#int s1
router(config-if)#encap frame-relay
router(config-if)#frame-relay interface-type dce
router(config-if)#route 200 interface s0 100
The commands are pretty straight forward. First you enable frame-relay switching on the router(note : not all routers can do that), then you define the encapsulation for the interfaces and finally you create a frame-relay route which is similar to a "map" command.
Hope that helps. | |

| Cheers Ghost, So would my routers do it or should I get a 4500 with 4 serial ports to do this? | |

| Well if it has 2 serial ports or more, then it's cool.
And I would like to correct the command "frame-relay interface-type dce", the correct command is "frame-relay intf-type dce".
The default is dte so if you do not define it, it will be dte.
Have fun with your frame-relay cloud. 
And after that you could make a x.25 switch as well. | |

| A four port serial card will give your the ability to simulate a much more complex network. Guess you never NEED it but for Lab training they are nice to have.

| Yeti,
The config's in the BSCN book, P882 and P305 if you have the PDF or book???
If not I'll drop it round thursday night after I've hammered the exam!! (Hopefully) |
