400CHAPTER 22: FRAME RELAY CONFIGURATION COMMANDS

subnumber: Subinterface number, in the range 0 to 1023.

p2p: Specifies a point-to-point subinterface.

p2mp: Specifies a point-to-multipoint subinterface.

Description Use the interface serial command to create subinterface and enter subinterface view.

Use the undo interface serial command to delete subinterface.

Frame relay subinterface type defaults to p2mp.

Example # Configure a point-to-point subinterface Serial 2/0.2.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface serial2/0.2 p2p [Sysname-Serial2/0.2]

link-protocol fr

Syntax

link-protocol fr [ ietf nonstandard ]

View

Interface view

Parameter

ietf: Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard encapsulation format

 

(default).

 

nonstandard: Nonstandard compatible encapsulation format.

Description

Use the link-protocol fr command to encapsulate interface link layer protocol as

 

frame relay.

 

By default, the link-layer protocol encapsulated on the interface is PPP.

 

The frame relay encapsulation can be either ietf or nonstandard. IETF

 

encapsulation conforms to RFC 1490, that is, it supports the IETF standard and is

 

compatible with dedicated encapsulation format of mainstream routers.

 

If you encapsulate a frame relay interface using any of the above frame relay

 

formats, the packets are encapsulated in the corresponding frame relay format

 

before they are forwarded through the interface. That is, two devices can

 

communicate with each other if the interfaces of both sides can recognize packets

 

in both of the formats even if they are encapsulated using different frame relay

 

formats. If an interface on one side cannot recognize packets of both formats, you

 

need to encapsulate the two interfaces using the same frame relay format.

Example

# Configure frame relay encapsulation on interface Serial 2/0 and select the

 

nonstandard encapsulation compatible format.
