Frame Relay

Frame Relay

This chapter describes provisioning the Cisco IAD1101 to use IP links over Frame Relay on a T1 line, and contains the following sections:

Overview

The Cisco IAD1101 terminates IP links over Frame Relay on a T1, acting as a data terminal equipment (DTE) Frame Relay access device.

Provisioning a Fractional T1

You must identify the group of DS0 channels to be used for the Frame Relay link. EMS manages user-defined groups of DS0 channels with fractional T1 provisioning.

To provision a fractional T1, perform the following steps starting in node view:


Step 1   Right-click a T1 line, and click Create Fractional T1 from the popup menu. EMS launches the fractional T1 provisioning window. (See Figure 12-1.)


Figure 12-1: Fractional T1 Provisioning Window


Step 2   EMS displays a list of previously-provisioned fractional T1s in the Fractional T1 List. If you are creating a new fractional T1, you cannot use DS0 channels that are already part of another fractional T1.

Step 3   In the DS0s field, select the First and Last DS0 to define the range of DS0 channels for the fractional T1.

Step 4   Click Add to provision the fractional T1. EMS adds the fractional T1 to the list and assigns it an index.

Step 5   To provision additional fractional T1s, return to Step 3 and repeat this procedure.


Deleting a Fractional T1

To delete a fractional T1, highlight the fractional T1 in the list and click Delete. EMS removes the fractional T1 from the list.

Creating a DLCMI

The data link connection management interface (DLCMI) is used to configure Frame Relay parameters such as address protocol and local management interface (LMI).

To create a DLCMI for Frame Relay access, perform the following steps starting in node view:


Step 1   Right-click the T1 port to be provisioned, and select Start FRAD Provisioning. EMS launches the Frame Relay provisioning window. (See Figure 12-2.)

Step 2   Set the following fields according to your Frame Relay network:

Step 3   Click Add to create the DLCMI. The DLCMI list shows the index and fractional T1 entry for the new DLCMI.


Creating a DLCI for the DLCMI

Frame relay uses a data link connection identifier (DLCI) to identify a particular virtual circuit endpoint within a user's access channel in a Frame Relay network.

To provision a DLCI for a DLCMI, perform the following steps starting in node view:


Step 1   Right-click the T1 port, and select Start FRAD Provisioning from the popup menu. EMS launches the Frame Relay provisioning window.

Step 2   Click FRAD Circuit Provisioning in the function bar. EMS launches the Frame Relay circuit provisioning window. (See Figure 12-3.)

Step 3   Click the entry in the DLCMI List (upper right) to select a DLCMI.

Step 4   Set the following fields for the DLCI to be created:

Step 5   Click Create to create the DLCI, or click Modify to change an existing DLCI. The DLCI List shows the new DLCI entry.


Deleting a DLCI

To delete a DLCI, highlight the DLCI in the DLCI list and click Delete. EMS removes the DLCI from the DLCMI.
