Frame Relay Question [7:31210]
So...I am looking at some frame links that a co-worker brought up not long ago. I issue a "show frame-relay pvc" command and notice that there are 3 dlci's being seen by the router yet there are only 2 circuits. The 3rd "unknown" dlci is listed as being unused. So, I look through the config some more and confirm that the 3rd dlci is not defined anywhere in the config. I am guessing my router is learning this dlci from the providers frame switch?? But why? Feel free to correct me if I am wrong...and thanks in advance for the help. matt __ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE video emails in Yahoo!

Frame Relay Question [7:31210]
Because your provider has defined the PVC on their switch. Why? A few possibilities spring to mind... a) your co-worker put in an incorrect or ambiguous order and the provider thought you wanted the third PVC b) your provider accidentally mis-configured the switch, and some other organisation may be currently asking them why they can't see the PVC that they ordered. c) somebody else in your organisation ordered the third PVC d) it's an old PVC and somebody forgot to cancel it when it was de-configured on the router and no longer required, or the provider cancelled it but forgot to de-configure it from the switch. e) any number of similar reasons The relative likelihood of these depends partly on your organisation - how many different teams have their fingers in the pie, how complex the network is (i.e. how easy it is to accidentally mis-type a request), and partly on the provider. If you're sure that the third PVC isn't required, chase it up with your provider - they should be able to say when (if) it was ordered.

RE: Frame Relay Question [7:31210]
Hi Matt, You are correct...The DLCI is being learned from the frame-relay switch...You don't have it configured so it will show up under the unused column when the sho fram pvc command. Did you order the pvc and haven't configured it or assigned it to an interface/sub-interface? Or the provider assigned it to a wrong dlci which I just had happened last week and the week before.

Re: Frame Relay Question [7:31210]
Yes it definately could have been learned from the provider or you had it configured on your router at some point and later took it out of your config. It the second case is true a reload will get rid of it. Does it claim to be learned dynamically??

Re: Frame Relay Question [7:31210]
Thanks to everyone for their replies. As it turns outseems to be a screw up on the provider's part.
