Chapter 1 Cisco SDM Express

WAN Interface Selection

Frame Relay Configuration Settings

DLCI Field

Enter the data link connection identifier (DLCI) in this field. This number must be unique among all DLCIs used on this interface. The DLCI provides a unique frame-relay identifier for this connection.

If you are editing an existing connection, the DLCI field is disabled. If you need to change the DLCI, delete the connection and create it again.

LMI Type Field

Ask your service provider which of the following Local Management Interface (LMI) types you should use. The LMI type specifies the protocol used to monitor the connection:

ANSI Option

Annex D defined by American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard

T1.617.

Cisco Option

LMI type defined jointly by Cisco and three other companies.

ITU-T Q.933 Option

ITU-T Q.933 Annex A.

Autosense Option

Default. This setting allows the router to detect which LMI type is being used by communicating with the switch and to then use that type. If autosense fails, the router will use the Cisco LMI type.

Use IETF Frame Relay Encapsulation Check Box

Check to use Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) encapsulation. This option is used when connecting to routers not made by Cisco. Check this check box if you are using this interface to connect to a router not made by Cisco.
