Using Frame Relay

vCon®gure FR destination addresses. If you are running a protocol such as IP or IPX over the FR interface, and are interconnecting with devices not supporting the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) or Inverse ARP on FR, use the add protocol-addresscommand to add the static protocol and address mapping.

vCon®gure Bandwidth Reservation over Frame Relay. In addition to the basic Frame Relay con®guration, which must be done, you can also con®gure Bandwidth Reservation (an optional feature) over Frame Relay. For information on con®guring Bandwidth Reservation, refer to Using Bandwidth Reservation and Priority Queuing in Using and Con®guring Features.

vCon®gure Discard Eligibility. You can con®gure Discard Eligibility (DE) congestion control using Bandwidth Reservation. For information on con®guring Discard Eligibility, refer to Using Bandwidth Reservation and Priority Queuing in Using and Con®guring Features.

vCon®gure Data Compression. You can con®gure data compression for Frame Relay. For information on con®guring data compression, refer to Using Data Compression in Using and Con®guring Features.

Enabling Frame Relay PVC Management

There are three management options under Frame Relay:

vInterim Local Management Interface Revision 1

vANSI T1.617 Annex D management

vITU-T/CCITT Q.933 Annex A management.

Frame Relay defaults to ANSI enabled. If you want to change management types, or if you want to re-enable ANSI management, use the following procedure. Enabling management over Frame Relay is a two-step process:

1.Enter the enable lmi command at the FR Config> prompt to enable management activity.

2.Enter the set lmi-typecommand to select the type of management for the interface.

See Table 56 for details of the management types available using the set command.

An example of how to set these management types is shown after the table. Also, refer to the enable and set command sections in this chapter for more information.
