Once again, to clarify:

The interface with the DCE end of the cable is the interface that requires
the clock rate configured.

This may be different than the interface that has the frame-relay intf-type
DCE

Frame relay intf-type dce does NOT require clock rate and does NOT require
the DCE end of the cable. The difference is the physical versus the logical
DCE.

If you were to configure two Cisco routers back to back NNI, one of those
routers would still require the clock rate set.

A minor point, but one most misunderstood.

Thomas,
On fr switch, dce side needs clock rate defined.  If your interface is dte,
simply assign clock rate on the dce side of other router (but of couse you
must swap the dce-dte cable).  No matter what you use, you may just use
frame intf-type dce on the fr switch.  This gives you the ability to define
"frame route" which is what you want on the fr switch, right ?

Hi All - I am setting up my 2501 router as a frame-relay switch.  I succeed
when setting both of its serial as DCE interfaces.  However, I failed to
have one serial acts as a DCE and one acts as a DTE.  Is it possible to
specify a switch as a "frame-relay" switch and have one of its serial acting
as a DTE interface (and assign IP address...) ???  Thanks All
