Lab 9 Frame Relay on Cisco Routers

Scenario

You are a WAN engineer who has decided to convert the corporate WAN networks from HDLC to Frame Relay.

Steps

1. Go into configuration mode with the config t command.
2. Set the encapsulation to Frame Relay on the serial interfaces with the encapsulation frame-relay command.
3. Map DLCI 100 to the remote router’s IP serial interface address with the frame-relay map ip <address> 100 broadcast command.
4. Tell OSPF about your neighbor with the router ospf 100 and neighbor commands.
5. Configure one router to act as a Frame Relay switch with the frame-relay switching global configuration command and the frame-relay intf-type dce serial interface configuration command.
6. Test your configuration by pinging and using various show commands. Some good commands include

• show interface
• show frame-relay lmi
• show frame-relay map
• show frame-relay pvc
• show frame-relay route
• show frame-relay traffic
• show ip route
• show ip ospf
• show ip ospf database
• show ip ospf neighbor
• show ip ospf interface
• debug ip ospf events

Submission

Write a short lab report that summarizes your work and any problems you ran into. The lab report should cover:

1. State of the network before you made any changes
2. Major changes that you made to the network
3. Any problems you encountered
4. Conclusions about the health of the network in its new state

Submit your report

1. Attach an MS Word-compatible file to the assignment.
2. Your report should be about 1/2 page long, using a 12-point font and double spacing. It doesn't have to be anything fancy.
