Creating an endpoint that uses a layer 2 protocol (such as Frame Relay) is generally a four-step process:

Step 1:

Create the Frame Relay virtual endpoint (using the interface frame-relaycommand) and set the signaling method (using the frame-relaylmi-typecommand). Also included in the Frame Relay virtual endpoint are all the applicable Frame Relay timers logging thresholds, encapsulation types, etc. Generally, most Frame Relay virtual interface parameters should be left at their default state. For example, the following creates a Frame Relay interface labeled 7 and sets the signaling method to ansi.

(config)#interface frame-relay 7 (config-fr7)#frame-relay lmi-type ansi

Step 2:

Create the sub-interface and configure the PVC parameters. Using the sub-interface , apply access policies to the interface, create bridging interfaces, configure backup, assign an IP address, and set the PVC data-link control identifier (DLCI). For example, the following creates a Frame Relay sub-interface labeled 22, sets the DLCI to 30, and assigns an IP address of 193.44.69.253 to the interface.

(config-fr 7)#interface fr 7.22

(config-fr7.22)#frame-relay interface-dlci 30

(config-fr 7.22)#ip address 193.44.69.253 255.255.255.252

Step 3: (VALID ONLY FOR T1 INTERFACES)

Specify the group of DS0s used for signaling on the T1 interface by creating a tdm-group. Group any number of contiguous DS0s together to create a data pipe for layer 2 signaling. Also use the tdm-groupcommand to specify the per-DS0 signaling rate on the interface. For example, the following creates a tdm-group labeled 9 containing 20 DS0s (each DS0 having a data rate of 56 kbps).

(config)#interface t1 1/1

(config-t11/1)#tdm-group 9 timeslots 1-20 speed 56

(config-t1 1/1)#exit

Step 4:

Make the association between the layer 2 endpoint and the physical interface using the bind command. Supported layer 2 protocols include Frame Relay and point-to-point protocol (PPP). For example, the following creates a bind (labeled 5) to make an association between the Frame Relay virtual interface (fr 7) and the tdm-group configured on interface t1 1/1 (tdm-group 9).

(config)#bind 5 t1 1/1 9 fr 7
