Frame Relay Commands

Frame Relay Commands

This section describes the function and displays the syntax of each Frame Relay command. For more information about defaults and usage guidelines, see the corresponding chapter of the Router Products Command Reference publication.

clear frame-relay-inarp

To clear dynamically created Frame Relay maps, which are created by the use of inverse ARP, use the clear frame-relay-inarp EXEC command.

[no] encapsulation frame-relay [ietf]

Use the encapsulation frame-relay interface configuration command to enable Frame Relay encapsulation. The no form of this command disables Frame Relay. If the ietf keyword is not specified, this command defaults to using Cisco's encapsulation, which is a four-byte header, with two bytes for the DLCI and two bytes to identify the packet type.

ietf (Optional) Sets the encapsulation method to comply with the IETF standard (RFC 1294). Use this keyword when connecting to another vendor's equipment across a Frame Relay network.

[no] frame-relay interface-dlci dlci [option]

Use the frame-relay interface-dlci interface configuration command to allow use of subinterfaces in the Frame Relay network. To remove this feature, use the no form of this command.

dlci DLCI number for the interface
option (Optional) Broadcast or encapsulation keyword, as defined in the Frame Relay subinterface configuration options table in the Router Products Command Reference publication

frame-relay intf-type [dce | dte | nni]
no frame-relay intf-type [dce | dte]

Use the frame-relay intf-type interface configuration command to configure a Frame Relay switch type. Use the no form of this command to disable the switch.

dce (Optional) Router functions as a switch connected to a router.
dte (Optional) Router is connected to a Frame Relay network. The default is DTE.

[no] frame-relay lmi-n393dce events

Use the frame-relay lmi-n393dce interface configuration command to set the DCE and NNI monitored events count. Use the no form of this command to remove the current setting.

events Monitored events count value. Acceptable value is a positive integer in the range 1 through 10. The default is 2.

[no] frame-relay lmi-n393dte events

Use the frame-relay lmi-n393dte interface configuration command to set the monitored event count on a DTE or NNI interface. Use the no form of this command to remove the current setting.

events Monitored event count value. Acceptable value is a positive integer in the range 1 through 10. The default is 2.

[no] frame-relay lmi-t392dce timer

Use the frame-relay lmi-t392dce interface configuration command to set the polling verification timer on a DCE or NNI interface. Use the no form of this command to remove the current setting.

timer Polling verification timer value. Acceptable value is a positive integer in the range 5 through 30. The default is 15 seconds.

frame-relay lmi-type {cisco | ansi | q933a}
no frame-relay lmi-type {ansi | q933a}

Use the frame-relay lmi-type interface configuration command to select the Local Management Interface (LMI) type. Use the no form of this command to return to the default LMI type.

q933a International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T, formerly called CCITT) Q.933 Annex A.

frame-relay local-dlci number
no frame-relay local-dlci

Use the frame-relay local-dlci interface configuration command to set the source DLCI for use when the LMI is not supported. Use the no form of this command to remove the DLCI number.

number Local (source) data link connection identifier (DLCI) number for the interface.

frame-relay map protocol protocol-address dlci [broadcast]
[ietf | cisco]
no frame-relay map protocol protocol-address

Use the frame-relay map interface configuration command to define the mapping between an address and the DLCI used to connect to the address. Use the no form of this command to delete the map entry.

protocol-address Address for the protocol.
dlci DLCI number for the interface.
broadcast (Optional) Broadcasts should be forwarded to this address when multicast is not enabled (see the frame-relay multicast-dlci command for more information about multicasts). This keyword also simplifies the configuration of OSPF.
