RE: Frame Relay switching [7:435]
If you have another known good cable, and the config works, then the cable is a reasonable suspect. On the other hand, you do need to check things like your frame routes, and other configurations on all devices. clues might be found with debug frame packet, debug frame event, and debug frame lmi Chuck -Original Message- From: Thuan D.

RE: Frame Relay switching [7:435]
I think you misunderstand the interface types with regards to a frame relay switch. There are three frame relay switch interface types - DCE, DTE, and NNI. Check out http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios120/12cgcr/wan_c /wcfrelay.htm Down towards the end is a diagram you can check. And a bunch of config examples. A frame relay DTE device connects to a frame relay DCE device. NNI is special signaling between two frame switches. You can simulate a frame relay network using Cisco routers. Take care not to confuse the frame relay interface type with the physical interface / cable type. Even with NNI to NNI interface types, the router/frame switch with the physical DCE cable end must have a clock rate configured.
