Enter Frame Relay mode

This section describes how to configure Frame Relay on the serial interface of an OnSite router, after setting the basic serial interface parameters according to the previous sections.

This procedure describes how to enter the Frame Relay configuration mode

Mode: Administrator execution

Step	Command	Purpose
1	node(cfg)#port serial slot port	Selects the serial interface on slot and port
2	node(prt-ser)[slot/port]#framerelay	Enters the Frame Relay configuration mode
3	node(frm-rel)[slot/port]#	Displays the Frame Relay configuration mode prompt

Example: Enter Frame Relay mode

The following example shows how to enter into the Frame Relay configuration mode for the serial interface on slot 0 and port 0 of an OnSite router.

2800(cfg)#port serial 0 0 2800(prt-ser)[0/0]#framerelay 2800(frm-rel)[0/0]#

Configuring the LMI type

For a Frame Relay network, the line protocol is the periodic exchange of local management interface (LMI) packets between the OnSite device and the Frame Relay provider equipment. If the OnSite device is attached to a public data network (PDN), the LMI type must match the type used on the public network.

You can set one of the following three types of LMIs on the OnSite devices:

•ansi for ANSI T1.617 Annex D,

•gof for Group of 4, which is the default for Cisco LMI, and

•itu for ITU-T Q.933 Annex A.

This procedure describes how to set the LMI type.

Mode: Frame Relay

Step Command Purpose

1node(frm-rel)[slot/port]#lmi-type {ansi gof itu} Sets the LMI type

Example: Configuring the LMI type

The following example sets the LMI type to ANSI T1.617 Annex D for Frame Relay over the serial interface on slot 0 and port 0.
