Sample Frame-relay Switch configuration

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 ! frame-relay switching ! interface...

Internetwork Expert Volume II: Lab 1 Task 2

Task 2 was frame-relay configs and this was a breeze. Then again this is Lab 1 (Level 5) so it can't be that hard. Throughout this task, I had Narbik's words yelling in my ears "Don't use BROADCAST keyword unless its necessary". So I did the sub-tasks without broadcast keywords. I will move on to Task...

Frame-relay finished

So this weekend is kind of hectic - July 4th and then a friend's wedding. I covered Frame-Relay in detail and went over the UniverCD looking up all the frame-relay material. As of right now my frame-relay appears pretty solid. I know the different types of configurations and also when not to use certain...

Narbik’s Bootcamp – Day 1

Finally, the day I have been waiting for has arrived. Its 830am and I am sitting here in the class room. Comfort Inn had a nice Breakfast so I am ready to roll. We have 8 people in the class with different levels of experience. One of the guys has attempted the R&S lab 4 times already. Another guy...

Narbik’s Soup-to-Nuts Workbook Frame-relay Lab 6

Lab 6 - "Frame-relay end-to-end Keepalive - FREEK" requires us to configure a frame-relay cloud with a hub and spoke topology using point-to-point sub-interfaces. This part was similar to the other frame-relay labs I have done in this workbook. To be honest, I have never configured end-to-end keepalives...

Narbik’s Soup-to-Nuts Workbook Frame-relay Lab 5

Lab 5 - "Point-to-point, Multipoint and PPP" builds on the earlier labs with the addition of point-to-multipoint links and PPP encapsulation. Setting up point-to-point and multipoint interfaces was a breeze and I was able to do it without looking over the DocCD. However, I struggled to configure CHAP...

Narbik’s Soup-to-Nuts Workbook Frame-relay Lab 4

 Lab 4 - "Full Mesh Frame-relay configuration using Point-to-Point Sub-interfaces" wants us to use point-to-point subinterfaces to create a full mesh network. For this we create a subinterface for each connection and assign the local dlci to that sub-interface using the Frame-relay interface-dlci command....

Narbik’s Soup-to-Nuts Workbook Frame-relay Lab 3

Lab 3 - "Configuring Frame-relay point-to-point sub-interfaces" cover the configuration of point-to-point subinterfaces. In this lab I was required to configure a frame-relay hub and spoke network using sub-interfaces. Key thing to note: If routers are configured using point-to-point subinterfaces, they...

Narbik’s Soup-to-Nuts Workbook Frame-relay Lab 2

Lab 2 - "Full Mesh Frame-relay configuration using Frame-relay map statements" is building upon Lab 1 but instead of using a hub-n-spoke topology, we are required to configure a full mesh setup using map statements. Once again very basic but still important for a CCIE candidate. Things like these should...

Narbik’s Soup-to-Nuts Workbook Frame-relay Lab 1

Lab 1 - "Hub-n-Spoke using Frame-relay map statements" is straight forward in a way that it goes over the basics of frame-relay and asks you to configure a basic frame-relay cloud using hub and spoke design. It also requires that we turn off the inverse arp before no shutting the interface. Finally I...
