Bridged Frame-Relay.Note: Netopia Firmware Version 5.4 now supports additional Frame Relay configuration options when the Netopia device is operating in bridged mode.

Bridged Frame Relay (RFC 2427) is an extension of the existing onboard Frame Relay capability. Frame Relay-capable Netopia routers (ex: T-1, IDSL) may be run in bridged mode, with the WAN handling Frame Relay packets that are bridged to the Ethernet interface. For these models, LMI, multiple DLCIs, etc. can be configured.

If you choose to run the router in bridged mode, and select Frame Relay as the data link encapsulation method in the WAN (Wide Area Network) Setup menu, the WAN Configuration menu now offers options to configure Frame Relay and Frame Relay DLCIs.
