frame dash relay...

how to set up a frame relay lab using 3 routers...  the dirty...
 who in the hell uses frame anymore...

take two routers and call me in the morning
here we go...
  router1 will be our frame switch


frame commands per interface on frame switch... frame-relay intf-type dce is a precaution... look at the cables and you won't need those commands...
r1
interface Serial0/0
 no ip address
 encapsulation frame-relay
 clock rate 64000
 frame-relay intf-type dce
 frame-relay route 102 interface Serial0/1 103
 end

interface Serial0/1
 no ip address
 encapsulation frame-relay
 clock rate 64000
 frame-relay intf-type dce
 frame-relay route 103 interface Serial0/0 102
end

on r2
interface Serial0/0
 ip address 10.0.20.2 255.255.255.0
 encapsulation frame-relay
 frame-relay interface-dlci 102
 frame-relay lmi-type ansi
end

on r3
interface Serial0/0
 ip address 10.0.20.10 255.255.255.0
 encapsulation frame-relay
 frame-relay interface-dlci 103
 frame-relay lmi-type ansi
end

the addresses on  r2 and r3 have to be in the same subnet
the dlci's are the local dlci's on each router...

show frame route is your best friend r1 (frame switch)
r2620_01#sh frame route
Input Intf      Input Dlci      Output Intf     Output Dlci     Status
Serial0/0       102             Serial0/1       103             active
Serial0/1       103             Serial0/0       102             active

just like that... lose the ansi statement on one end and watch it drop...
