This chapter describes the commands to configure Systems Network Architecture (SNA) Frame Relay Access Support (FRAS). For SNA FRAS configuration tasks and examples, refer to the "Configuring SNA Frame Relay Access Support" chapter of the Bridging and IBM Networking Configuration Guide.
![]() |
Note Because Frame Relay does not provide the reliable transport required by SNA, the RFC 1490 support of SNA uses Logical Link Control, type 2 (LLC2) as part of the encapsulation to provide link-level sequencing, acknowledgment, and flow control. The serial interface configured for Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) encapsulation (RFC 1490) accepts all LLC2 interface configuration commands. For more information about LLC2 interface configuration commands, refer to the "LLC2 and SDLC Commands." |
Use the frame-relay map llc2 interface configuration command to configure BSTUN over Frame Relay when using Bisync local acknowledgment. Use the no form of this command to cancel the configuration.
