Configuring Frame Relay for an Interface

Select Frame Relay from the interface's menu to display or change the Frame

Relay options for an individual interface (see Table 3-6).

Main Menu → Configuration → [Network/Data Ports] → Frame Relay

See Configuring Frame Relay and LMI for the System for additional information.

Table 3-6. Interface Frame Relay Options (1 of 3)

LMI Protocol

Possible Settings: Initialize_From_Net1FR1, Initialize_From_Interface,

Auto_On_LMI_Fail, Standard, Annex-A, Annex-D

Default Setting:

For user data port links: Initialize_From_Interface

For network interface links: Auto_On_LMI_Fail

Specifies either the LMI protocol supported on the frame relay interface or the discovery source for the LMI protocol.

Initialize_From_Net1FR1 ± The LMI type supported on this frame relay link will be configured to match the LMI protocol initially discovered on the primary Network frame relay link (Net1FR1). LMI Protocol is set to None internally, but once a protocol has become active or is set on the primary Network link, the protocol will be set to the same value on this link (Standard, Annex-A or Annex-D). The protocol will not be updated based on changes to Net1FR1 after being set initially.

Display Conditions ± This option value only appears for a user data port.

Initialize_From_Interface ± The LMI type supported on this frame relay link will be configured to match the LMI protocol discovered from the attached Network line or DTE device. Once a protocol has become active, the protocol will be set to the protocol discovered (Standard, Annex-A or Annex-D) on the frame relay link. The protocol will not be updated after being initially discovered. Frame relay links on the user data port discover the LMI protocol from an attached device via LMI status polls.

Auto_On_LMI_Fail ± The LMI type supported on this frame relay link will be configured to match the LMI protocol discovered from the attached Network line or the DTE device whenever an LMI Link Down failure occurs. This option is available for frame relay links on the user data port and network data ports. Frame relay links on the user data port discover the LMI protocol from LMI status polls on attached DTE devices. Frame relay links on the network data port discover LMI protocol by sending polls to an attached Network line and ªlisteningº for correct poll response messages.

Standard ± Supports Standard LMI and the Stratacom enhancements to the

Standard LMI.

Annex-A± Supports LMI as specified by Q.933, Annex A.

Annex-D± Supports LMI as specified by ANSI T1.617, Annex D.
