It depends on what you buy from the SP. Sometimes you get routers (CE
routers).
Or you get some sort of link, serial for example and you have to
configure the frame-relay stuff yourself.
I highly doubt you will see any 'new' frame-relay deployments in real-
life and I would never configure a multipoint hub-n-spoke topology in
real-life, just point-to-point stuff and the hub having tens to
hundreds of sub-interfaces.
Like Joe said, don't ever try to use a CCIE lab as design for a real-
life network :-P

HI Joe
Is the Frame Switch configured by the Service Provider, and tthe hub
and spokes confiugred by a Network Engineer?

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 : )

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
