Objectives
Upon completing this lesson, you will be able to:
Use Cisco IOS commands to configure a Frame Relay
network, given a functioning router
Use show commands to identify anomalies in the Frame
Relay PVCs, given a functioning router and an operational
Frame Relay network
Use debug commands to identify events and anomalies in
the Frame Relay PVCs, given a functioning router and an
operational Frame Relay network

Configuring Subinterfaces
Point-to-point
Subinterfaces act like leased lines.
Each point-to-point subinterface requires its own subnet.
Point-to-point is applicable to hub and spoke topologies.
Multipoint
Subinterfaces act like NBMA networks, so they do not
resolve the split-horizon issues.
Multipoint can save address space because it uses a single
subnet.
Multipoint is applicable to partial mesh and full mesh
topologies.

Summary
A basic Frame Relay configuration assumes one or more
physical interfaces, and LMI and Inverse ARP are running
on the remote routers. In this type of environment, the
LMI notifies the router about the available DLCIs.
When the remote router does not support Inverse ARP, or
when you want to control routed broadcast traffic, you
must define the address-to-DLCI table statically.
You can configure Frame Relay subinterfaces in either
point-to-point or multipoint mode.
After you configure Frame Relay, you can verify that the
connections are active using the available show
commands.
Use the debug frame-relay lmi command to verify and
troubleshoot a Frame Relay connection.
