A frame relay switch is a layer 2 device, it does not look at Layer 3
information.

Subject: no ip address for frame-relay switch?


Hi,
I am trying to understand as to why an ip address is not assigned to the 
serial interfaces of a router that is configured as a frame relay switch. Is

this only for a lab environment or is this how it is also done in the real 
world?
Also each interface is assigned as a dce interface. Why does the router need

this to support switching?
Can someone help?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
