Frame Relay Configuration

This section covers the settings required for Frame Relay operation of the MicroRouter 2200R WAN interfaces. In general, the parameters listed here should be set for each WAN interface on which you plan to use Frame Relay.

Link Configuration

Frame Relay is presently supported in the MicroRouter 2200R only via dedicated line operation.

Set Dedicated connection

Set Frame Relay connection

CV: Use the Link Configuration: WAN Dialog Box.

TB: Use configure to set the Mode and ConnectMode keywords in the Link Config WAN 0 (and/or WAN 1) section.

Suggested for Dedicated/Leased Line Operation

Dedicated line operation generally does not require additional parame- ters for operation.

Frame Relay DLCI Mappings

If you are connecting to another Compatible Systems router, this infor- mation is not required for Frame Relay operation. Compatible Systems uses IARP (Inverse Address Resolution Protocol) to dynamically generate this information. To connect to other vendors’ routers which do not support IARP, you must provide DLCI-to-protocol mapping information.

Note: Many Internet Service Providers (ISP’s) do not support IARP vas a default. If one of your MicroRouter 2200R interfaces will be connected to an ISP via Frame Relay, check with your ISP technical staff on whether or not you must manually enter DLCI information.

CV: Use the DLCI Mapping Database Dialog Box (under WAN>Link Configuration>DLCI button).

TB: Use configure and set the DLCI keyword in the Frame Relay WAN 0 (and/or WAN 1) section.
