Sample Frame-relay Switch configuration

Frame Relay — By CCIETalk on October 5, 2008 at 10:14 pm

I started working through Narbik's Advanced technologies workbooks today and when I got to the frame-relay section, I had to reconfigure my frame-relay switch. IE uses the FR switch as both BB1 and FRS. Here is my configuration incase anyone needs it.

hostname FRS

Hello! I visit your site quite often and I find it very helpful in my studies. I was looking at your full mesh configuration on a frame relay switch and wanted to know can’t I achieve the same full mesh configuration by using frame relay map commands.

This configuration is for a frame-relay switch so that’s why you can’t. Have you tried it?

I did but not with that many routers. Can a full mesh configuration be achieved by using frame relay map commands.

For example

interface serial 0/0
encapsulation frame-relay
no frame-relay inverse-arp
ip address 172.16.123.1 255.255.255.0
frame-relay map ip 172.16.123.2 102 broadcast
frame-relay map ip 172.16.123.3 103 broadcast

interface serial 0/0
encapsulation frame-relay
no frame-relay inverse-arp
ip address 172.16.123.2 255.255.255.0
frame-relay map ip 172.16.123.1 201 broadcast
frame-relay map ip 172.16.123.3 201

interface serial 0/0
encapsulation frame-relay
no frame-relay inverse-arp
ip address 172.16.123.3 255.255.255.0
frame-relay map ip 172.16.123.1 301 broadcast
frame-relay map ip 172.16.123.2 301
