Well Bob, are you trying to build this with only 2 routers? I am not sure
you can do that... Typically it looks like this:
R1-------Frame Switch (R2)-----------R3
R2 (the frame switch) provides DCE to both R1 and R3. Set the clockrate on
one of the switch interfaces. R2 needs the following:
Frame Relay Switching enabled (frame-relay switching)
DCE set on each interface (frame-relay intf-type dce)
Clockrate configured (clockrate 56000)
Frame Relay Route statements to announce DLCI's to each side and connect the
R1 and R3 into a PVC. (frame-relay route 102 s0 201)
R1 and R3 need:
Frame Relay encapsulation on the serial interface that is connected to the
switch. (encapsulation frame-relay)
Optional:
You may want to configure frame-relay map statments on R1 and R3 to turn off
Inverse-Arp. This step is optional.
You may also wish to configure the Frame Relay LMI type...
If you are trying to configure only half of the connection, ie one router as
DTE and one router as the switch, I don't think that this will work. You may
see LMI going back and forth (debug frame lmi), but I don't think so. You
certianly will not see the interface stay up because the PVC is not
complete.
I have not tried to configure the switch to route right back out the same
interface (frame-relay route 102 s0 102) to see if it will receive frames on
s0 and send them out on s0 too, but I don't think it is legal to do this...
You may need to get a 3rd router to make this work (if you do not alreay
have one.)
I hope this helps...
Dale
