FRM Configuri ng Frame Relay 7-5
Exam pl e 2
In Exam ple 2, the pr imary l ink is betw een Node 1/ Port 2/DL CI 16 and No de 2/RLP
0/Port 0/ DLCI 18. Th e D LC I s sh ou l d be c o nfigured a s des c ri b e d for E x a mp l e 1 ( wi t h
the exc ept i o n, na t u ra l ly, of Node 2/R LP 0/ Po rt 4/ D LC I 17), with one dif f e rence—
when configuring Backup Group 10 (see step 3 under example 1), set ProtEnab to N.
Then if the primary link goes down, a connection will automatically be established
between Node 1/Port 0/DLCI 17 and the "Other Device."
Exam pl e 3
In Example 3, the configur ation between Nod e 1 and Node 2 is t he same a s in example
1. The "Other Device" must be configured to recognize both the primary and backup
connections.
Required Configuration
To r un frame relay in a Sma rtSwitc h 1800, make s ure the followi ng are p roperly con-
figured:
●Node parameter s (Chapte r 4). T his is genera l config uration that must be done
no ma tter wh ich pro tocols w ill be run i n the n ode.
●Load ed protocol s (Chapter 5): frame relay and any others that will be trans-
mitted over the frame relay link.
●Frame Relay Bandwidth Allocation Groups (page 7-6), if configuring multiple
protoc ols to run o ver a fram e relay por t.
●Frame rela y port(s ) (page 7-9) that will connect to the user device(s), network,
and/or PVC(s).
●PVC connections (page 7-20) which define "permanent" circuits between
physical ports in the node.
●Frame Relay Backup Groups (page 7-22), if configuring one or more backup
DLCIs.
