Introduction

Frame Relay

Hardware

Configuration

This chapter describes how to perform a variety of frame relay config- uration tasks and enable frame relay encapsulation.

Routers and access servers can connect directly to:

zThe Frame Relay switch

zA channel service unit/digital service unit (CSU/DSU), which then connects to a remote Frame Relay switch

A Frame Relay network is not required to support only routers that are connected directly or only routers connected via CSU/DSUs. Within network, some routers can connect to a Frame Relay switch through direct connection and others through connections via CSU/DSUs. However, a single router interface configured for Frame Relay can be only one or the other.

The CSU/DSU converts V.35 or RS-449 signals to the properly coded T1 transmission signal for successful reception by the Frame Relay network. Figure 13-1illustrates the connections between the different components.
