Hi All,

Well, here is the funny thing. Initially I had this config on R6 and I
assumed that I had to use "frame-relay switching", but I chickened out
on that option because R6 has more PVC's and I wasn't sure about the
impact of "frame-relay switching" on that.

Then, I turned it around and configured the DCE on R9; but I never
configured "frame-relay switching" on R9, and it still works:

R6#sh run | i switch
R6#

R9#sh run | i switch
R9#

So, maybe "frame-relay switching" is only required when you want to
"frame-relay route" packets between different DLCIs?
