Frame Relay (Ethernet Based) Operations

Ethernet based (or basic) Frame Relay is also available within the Patton Electronics Model 3086. This Frame Relay service can be used in a similar fashion to other Ethernet based transports within the system such as PPP or the Ethernet transport. Multiple Frame Relay transports, with different DLCI numbers, can be built upon the HDLC controller that is available with the 3086. The Frame Relay Interface is available at the Serial Inter- face for transport out of the Ethernet Interface or the ATM link.

Frame Relay Configuration Options

The Frame Relay transport is configurable from both the CLI and the web interface. The following config- urable variables are available through both interfaces.

Channel Segment Size

The channel segment size is used to define fragmentation of the packets based on the Frame Relay Forum IA FRF.12. If this variable is set to 0 then FRF.12 “Frame Relay Fragmentation” will be disabled. If set to any other value it will set the fragmentation size used.

DLCI: Data Link Connection Identifier

The Frame Relay DLCI used for the specified channel. Must be set to a non-zero number as agreed upon by the Frame Relay connection.

Encapsulation Type

Defines the FRC1490 encapsulation type that will be used by the channel.

Port

Defines the port that should be used to setup the Frame Relay Connection. For routed applications the port should be set to “frf”. For bridged applications the port should be set to “fr”.

Rxmaxpdu

Receive side max PDU

Txmaxpdu

Transmit side max PDU

Frame Relay CLI Configuration Options

The following information describes how to configure the frame relay transport on the 3086 through the CLI interface.

Build a new Frame Relay Transport

Command: framerelay add transport <name> <port> <dlci>

Add a new frame relay transport to the system

Name: Any name can be given to the transport. This name will be used to reference the transport in later commands.
