Not sure I fully understand the questions but: 1) In a lab environment you usually have a frame-relay switch that runs serial cables to your hub and spoke frame-relay routers. Where you put the DCE for serial clocking is entirely up to you, but it seems to make sense to me to put it on the frame switch. You also need to setup your frame switch to actually do frame-switching. In the "real world" I couldn't see running serial cables between your hub and spoke...I don't really get that. You would probably have your hub and spokes running into a service provider frame-relay cloud running on a T1 connection or something.
2) The labs we design are designed to help you pass the CCIE lab not for best design practices. Much of the frame-relay stuff you see in the CCIE lab, ESPECIALLY for OSPF is completely FUBAR and should not be used in production in most cases : ) Use your best judgement, but I would not be using a CCIE lab practice workbook for a guide on best practices : ) On Sun, Sep 6, 2009 at 12:54 AM, Ahmed Haji Munye <[email protected]>wrote: > > Hi > > When configuring hub and spokes (Frame relay) in a production network (real > world), do you also: > > - use a router with 8 serial interface having all the DCE ends plugged on > it and the DTE ends on the Hup and spokes? > > - my other questions is, do you always use the same configs and commands as > shown in detailed solution the labs ? > > Kind Regards > Ahmed > > > ------------------------------ > Går det långsamt?
