Lab Tips:
The Frame-Relay protocol is a data-link layer packet switching protocol that is used in the line. The line only checks errors. These errors are solved by the upper-layer protocols such as TCP. The frame-relay is connection-oriented and provided by VC. VC is full-duplex and provides full connections at a low cost.
Topology:
Lab Requirements:
1. A Cisco router is used as a frame-relay switch.
2. Meet the frame-relay lab requirements. The figure above gives the specific parameters.
Lab Process:
RouterFR(config)#frame-relay switching / Enable the frame-relay function of the router
RouterFR(config)#interface serial 1/1
RouterFR(config-if)#encapsulation frame-relay / Encapsulate Frame-Relay protocol
RouterFR(config-if)#frame-relay intf-type dce Set s1/1 as the dce end
RouterFR(config-if)#clock rate 64000
RouterFR(config-if)#frame-relay route 100 interface s1/2 200 / Source DLCI 100 passes s1/2 to reach destination DLCI 200
RouterFR(config-if)#no shutdown
RouterFR(config-if)#exit
RouterFR(config)#interface serial 1/2
RouterFR(config-if)#encapsulation serial 1
RouterFR(config-if)# frame-relay intf-type dce
RouterFR(config-if)#clock rate 64000
RouterFR(config-if)#frame-relay route 200 interface serial 1 100
RouterFR(config-if)#no shutdown
P4S-R1(config-if)# interface serial 1/1
P4S-R1(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
