Use the commands described in this chapter to configure access to Frame Relay networks.
The following are either new commands or newly introduced from the Cisco IOS 12.0 Voice, Video, and Home Applications Command Reference publication:
For Frame Relay configuration information and examples, refer to the "Configuring Frame Relay" chapter in the Cisco IOS Wide-Area Networking Configuration Guide.
For configuration of FRF.5 Frame Relay-ATM Network Interworking and FRF.8 Frame Relay-ATM Service Interworking on the Cisco MC3810, refer to the "Configuring Frame Relay-ATM Interworking" chapter of the Cisco IOS Wide-Area Networking Configuration Guide.
To associate a map class with a protocol-and-address combination, use the class map-list configuration command.
class protocol protocol-address class map-class [broadcast] [trigger] [ietf]
Syntax Description
protocol protocol-address Protocol address. The bridge and clns keywords do not use protocol addresses. class map-class Name of the map class from which to derive quality of service (QOS) information. broadcast (Optional) Allows broadcasts on this SVC. trigger (Optional) Enables a broadcast packet to trigger an SVC. If an SVC already exists that uses this map class, the SVC will carry the broadcast. This keyword can be configured only if broadcast is also configured. ietf (Optional) Specifies RFC 1490 encapsulation. The default is Cisco encapsulation.
Defaults
No protocol, protocol address, and map class are defined. If the ietf keyword is not specified, the default is Cisco encapsulation. If the broadcast keyword is not specified, no broadcasts are sent.

Command History
11.2 This command was introduced.
Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
This command is used for Frame Relay switched virtual circuits (SVCs); the parameters within the map class are used to negotiate for network resources. The class is associated with a static map that is configured under a map list.
Examples
In the following example, if IP triggers the call, the SVC is set up with the QOS parameters defined within the class hawaii. However, if AppleTalk triggers the call, the SVC is set up with the QOS parameters defined in the class rainbow. An SVC triggered by either protocol results in two SVC maps, one for IP and one for AppleTalk. Two maps are set up because these protocol-and-address combinations are heading for the same destination, as defined by the dest-addr keyword and the values following it in the map-list command.
map-list bermuda source-addr E164 14085551212 dest-addr E164 15085551212 ip 131.108.177.100 class hawaii appletalk 1000.2 class rainbow
In the following example, the trigger keyword allows AppleTalk broadcast packets to trigger an SVC:
ip 172.21.177.1 class jamaica broadcast ietf appletalk 1000.2 class jamaica broadcast trigger ietf
Related Commands

Usage Guidelines
The Frame Relay committed burst size is specified within a map class to request a certain burst rate for the circuit. Although it is specified in bits, an implicit time factor is the sampling interval Tc on the switch, which is defined as the burst size divided by the committed information rate (CIR).
Examples
In the following example, the serial interface already has a basic configuration, and a map group called bermuda has already been defined. The example shows a map-list configuration that defines the source and destination addresses for bermuda, provides IP and IPX addresses, and ties the map list definition to the map class called jamaica. Then traffic shaping parameters are defined for the map class.

size---64 packets
byte-rate---256000 bytes per second
packet-rate---36 packets per second
Command Modes
Interface configuration
Command History
10.3 This command was introduced.
Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
A broadcast queue is given a maximum transmission rate (throughput) limit measured in bytes per second and packets per second. The queue is serviced to ensure that only this maximum is provided. The broadcast queue has priority when transmitting at a rate below the configured maximum, and hence has a guaranteed minimum bandwidth allocation. The two transmission rate limits are intended to avoid flooding the interface with broadcasts. The actual limit in any second is the first rate limit that is reached.
Given the transmission rate restriction, additional buffering is required to store broadcast packets. The broadcast queue is configurable to store large numbers of broadcast packets.
The queue size should be set to avoid loss of broadcast routing update packets. The exact size will depend on the protocol being used and the number of packets required for each update. To be safe, set the queue size so that one complete routing update from each protocol and for each DLCI can be stored. As a general rule, start with 20 packets per DLCI. Typically, the byte rate should be less than both of the following:
The packet rate is not critical if you set the byte rate conservatively. Set the packet rate at 250-byte packets.
Examples
The following example specifies a broadcast queue to hold 80 packets, to have a maximum byte transmission rate of 240,000 bytes per second, and to have a maximum packet transmission rate of 160 packets per second:
frame-relay broadcast-queue 80 240000 160
To specify the incoming or outgoing committed information rate (CIR) for a Frame Relay virtual circuit, use the frame-relay cir map-class configuration command. To reset the CIR to the default, use the no form of this command.

Modification
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to specify a CIR for an SVC. The specified CIR value is sent through the SETUP message to the switch, which then attempts to provision network resources to support this value.
Examples
The following example sets a higher committed information rate for incoming traffic than for outgoing traffic (which is going out on a slow WAN line):
frame-relay cir in 2000000 frame-relay cir out 9600

Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
This command can apply to interfaces or subinterfaces.
All relevant parameters defined in the name map class are inherited by each virtual circuit created on the interface or subinterface. For each virtual circuit, the precedence rules are as follows:
1. Use the map class associated with the virtual circuit if it exists.
2. If not, use the map class associated with the subinterface if the map class exists.
3. If not, use map class associated with interface if the map class exists.
4. If not, use the interface default parameters.
Examples
The following example associates the slow_vcs map class with the serial 0.1 subinterface and the slow_vcs map class is defined to have an outbound CIR value of 9600:
interface serial 0.1 frame-relay class slow_vcs map-class frame-relay slow_vcs frame-relay cir out 9600
If a virtual circuit exists on the serial 0.1 interface and is associated with some other map class, the parameter values of the second map class override those defined in the slow_vc map class for that virtual circuit.

Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must first associate a Frame Relay map class with a specific DLCI, then enter map-class configuration mode and enable or disable weighted fair queueing for that map class.
When Frame Relay fragmentation is enabled, weighted fair queueing is the only queueing strategy allowed.
If this command is entered without any accompanying numbers, the default values for each of the four parameters will be set. If you desire to alter only the value of the first parameter (Congestive Discard Threshold), you only need to enter the desired value for that parameter. If you desire to alter only the value of the second, third, or fourth parameters, you must enter values for the preceding parameters as well as for the parameter you wish to change.
Examples
The following example shows how to enable weighted fair queueing and set the default parameter values for the "vofr" Frame Relay map class on a Cisco 2600 series, 3600 series, or 7200 series router or on a Cisco MC3810:

Usage Guidelines
Frame Relay fragmentation is enabled on a per-PVC basis. Before enabling Frame Relay fragmentation, you must first associate a Frame Relay map class with a specific data-link connection identifier (DLCI), then enter map-class configuration mode and enable or disable fragmentation for that map class. In addition, you must enable Frame Relay traffic shaping on the interface in order for fragmentation to work.
Frame Relay frames are fragmented using one of the following formats, depending on how the PVC is configured:
Cisco recommends pure end-to-end FRF.12 fragmentation on PVCs that are carrying VoIP packets and on PVCs that are sharing the link with other PVCs carrying VoFR traffic.
In pure end-to-end FRF.12 fragmentation, Frame Relay frames with a payload less than the fragment size configured for that PVC are transmitted without the fragmentation header.
FRF.11 Annex C and Cisco proprietary fragmentation are used when VoFR frames are transmitted on a PVC. When fragmentation is enabled on a PVC, FRF.11 Annex C format is triggered when vofr is configured on that PVC; Cisco proprietary format is triggered when vofr cisco is configured.
In FRF.11 Annex C and Cisco proprietary fragmentation, VoFR frames are never fragmented, and all data packets (including VoIP packets) contain the fragmentation header regardless of the payload size.
Examples
The following example shows how to enable pure end-to-end FRF.12 fragmentation for the "frag" map class on a Cisco 2600 series, 3600 series, or 7200 series router, starting from global configuration mode. The fragment payload size is set to 40 bytes. Frame Relay traffic shaping is required on the PVC; the only queueing type supported on the PVC when fragmentation is configured is weighted fair queueing (WFQ).

Usage Guidelines
The frame-relay idle-timer command applies to switched virtual circuits that are associated with the map class where the idle-timer is defined.
The idle timer must be tuned for each application. Routing protocols such as Routing Information Protocol (RIP) might keep the SVC up indefinitely because updates go out every 10 seconds.
Beginning in Release 11.3, if in and out are not specified in the command, the timeout interval applies to both timers. In Release 11.2, the timeout interval applies to the outbound timer.

Usage Guidelines
This command is typically used for subinterfaces; however, it can also be used on main interfaces. Using the frame-relay interface-dlci command on main interfaces will enable the use of routing protocols on interfaces that use Inverse ARP. The frame-relay interface-dlci command on a main interface is also valuable for assigning a specific class to a single PVC where special characteristics are desired. Subinterfaces are logical interfaces associated with a physical interface. You must specify the interface and subinterface before you can use this command to assign any DLCIs and any encapsulation or broadcast options. See the "Examples" section for the sequence of commands.
This command is required for all point-to-point subinterfaces; it is also required for multipoint subinterfaces for which dynamic address resolution is enabled. It is not required for multipoint subinterfaces configured with static address mappings.
Use the protocol ip ip-address option only when this router or access server will act as the BOOTP server for autoinstallation over Frame Relay.
By issuing the frame-relay interface-dlci interface configuration command, you enter Frame Relay DLCI interface configuration mode (see the first example below). This gives you the following command options, which must be used with the relevant class or X.25-profile names you previously assigned:
A Frame Relay DLCI configured for Annex G can be thought of as a single logical X.25/LAPB interface. Therefore, any number of X.25 routes may be configured to route X.25 calls to that logical interface.
When configuring the voice-encap option on the Cisco MC3810 to enable Voice over Frame Relay, set the data fragmentation size based on the port access rate. Table 21 lists recommended data fragmentation sizes for different port access rates. Note also that when the voice-encap option is configured on the Cisco MC3810, voice traffic is not shaped, and all priority queueing, custom queueing, and weighted fair queueing is disabled on the interface.
![]() |
Note On the Cisco MC3810 only, the voice-encap option performs the same function as the vofr cisco interface configuration command introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(3)XG. Either command is required to enable Voice over Frame Relay. The voice-encap option and the vofr cisco command are mutually exclusive on the same interface; you must choose which command to use. The voice-encap option does not support any priority queueing function, which provides greater throughput. The vofr cisco command uses weighted fair queueing, which reduces throughput but provides a means of prioritizing traffic flows. |
The voice-cir option on the Cisco MC3810 provides call admission control; it does not provide traffic shaping. A call setup will be refused if the unallocated bandwidth available at the time of the request is not at least equal to the value of the voice-cir option.
When configuring the voice-cir option on the Cisco MC3810 for Voice over Frame Relay, do not set the value of this option to be higher than the physical link speed. If Frame Relay traffic shaping is enabled for a PVC sharing voice and data, do not configure the voice-cir option to be higher than the value set with the frame-relay mincir command. Note that voice traffic is not shaped when the voice-encap option is configured; thus, in this case the frame-relay mincir command is irrelevant.

To enable Inverse ARP for all protocols that were enabled before the prior no frame-relay inverse-arp command was issued, use the frame-relay inverse-arp command without arguments. To disable Inverse ARP for all protocols of an interface, use the no frame-relay inverse-arp command without arguments.
To enable or disable Inverse ARP for a specific protocol and DLCI pair, use both the protocol and dlci arguments. To enable or disable Inverse ARP for all protocols on a DLCI, use only the dlci argument. To enable or disable Inverse ARP for a protocol for all DLCIs on the specified interface or subinterface, use only the protocol argument.
This implementation of Inverse ARP is based on RFC 1293. It allows a router or access server running Frame Relay to discover the protocol address of a device associated with the virtual circuit.
In Frame Relay, permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) are identified by a DLCI, which is the equivalent of a hardware address. By exchanging signaling messages, a network announces a new virtual circuit, and with Inverse ARP, the protocol address at the other side of the circuit can be discovered.
The show frame-relay map command displays the word "dynamic" to flag virtual circuits that are created dynamically by Inverse ARP.
Examples
The following example sets Inverse ARP on an interface running AppleTalk:
interface serial 0 frame-relay inverse-arp appletalk 100

Modification
Usage Guidelines
This command applies to interfaces that support Frame Relay encapsulation, specifically serial ports and High-Speed Serial Interface (HSSI).
Frame Relay must be configured on the interface before this command can be used.
TCP/IP header compression and IETF encapsulation are mutually exclusive. If an interface is changed to IETF encapsulation, all encapsulation and compression characteristics are lost.
When you use this command to enable TCP/IP header compression, every IP map inherits the compression characteristics of the interface, unless header compression is explicitly rejected or modified by use of the frame-relay map ip tcp header compression command.
We recommend that you shut down the interface prior to changing encapsulation types. Although this is not required, shutting down the interface ensures the interface is reset for the new type.
Examples
The following example configures serial interface 1 to use the default encapsulation (cisco) and passive TCP header compression:
interface serial 1 encapsulation frame-relay frame-relay ip tcp header-compression passive

Modification
Usage Guidelines
There can be many DLCIs known by a router or access server that can send data to many different places, but they are all multiplexed over one physical link. The Frame Relay map defines the logical connection between a specific protocol and address pair and the correct DLCI.
The optional ietf and cisco keywords allow flexibility in the configuration. If no keywords are specified, the map inherits the attributes set with the encapsulation frame-relay command. You can also use the encapsulation options to specify that, for example, all interfaces use IETF encapsulation except one, which needs the original Cisco encapsulation method and can be configured through use of the cisco keyword with the frame-relay map command.
Packet-by-packet compression is Cisco-proprietary and will not interoperate with routers of other manufacturers.
You can disable payload compression by entering the no frame-relay map payload command and then entering the frame-relay map command again with one of the other encapsulation keywords (cisco or ietf).
Use the frame-relay map command to enable or disable payload compression on multipoint interfaces. Use the frame-relay payload-compress command to enable or disable payload compression on point-to-point interfaces.
We recommend that you shut down the interface prior to changing encapsulation types. Although this is not required, shutting down the interface ensures the interface is reset for the new encapsulation.
The broadcast keyword provides two functions: it forwards broadcasts when multicasting is not enabled, and it simplifies the configuration of OSPF for nonbroadcast networks that will use Frame Relay.
The broadcast keyword might also be required for some routing protocols---for example, AppleTalk---that depend on regular routing table updates, especially when the router at the remote end is waiting for a routing update packet to arrive before adding the route.
By requiring selection of a designated router, OSPF treats a nonbroadcast, multiaccess network such as Frame Relay in much the same way as it treats a broadcast network. In previous releases, this required manual assignment in the OSPF configuration using the neighbor interface router command. When the frame-relay map command is included in the configuration with the broadcast keyword, and the ip ospf network command (with the broadcast keyword) is configured, there is no need to configure any neighbors manually. OSPF will now automatically run over the Frame Relay network as a broadcast network. (See the ip ospf network interface command for more detail.)
![]() |
Note The OSPF broadcast mechanism assumes that IP class D addresses are never used for regular traffic over Frame Relay. |
Examples
The following example maps the destination IP address 172.16.123.1 to DLCI 100:
interface serial 0 frame-relay map IP 172.16.123.1 100 broadcast
OSPF will use DLCI 100 to broadcast updates.

Usage Guidelines
To disable TCP/IP header compression on the IP map, use the nocompress form of the command.
IP maps inherit the compression characteristics of the associated interface unless this command is used to provide different characteristics. This command can also reconfigure an IP map that existed before TCP header compression was configured on the associated interface.
When IP maps at both ends of a connection inherit passive compression, the connection will never transfer compressed traffic because neither side will generate a packet with a compressed header.
If you change the encapsulation characteristics of the interface to IETF, you lose the TCP header compression configuration of the associated IP map.
The frame-relay map ip ip-address dlci tcp header-compression active command can also be entered as frame-relay map ip ip-address dlci active tcp header-compression.
We recommend that you shut down the interface prior to changing encapsulation types. Although this is not required, shutting down the interface ensures that the interface is reset for the new encapsulation.
Examples
The following example illustrates a command sequence configuring an IP map associated with serial interface 1 to enable active TCP/IP header compression:

Usage Guidelines
This command is applied at the interface or subinterface level. Levels in descending order are high, medium, normal, and low.
This command allows you to define different DLCIs for different categories of traffic based on traffic priorities. This command does not itself define priority queueing, but it can be used in conjunction with priority queueing.
A global priority list must be defined, and the associated DLCIs must already be applied to the configuration before you enable this command.
Associate the DLCIs to their prospective groups and define their priority levels. This command is used for multiple DLCIs, where the source and destination endpoints are the same (parallel paths). This command should not be used on a main interface, or point-to-point subinterface, where only a single DLCI is configured.
A DLCI can only be affiliated with a single priority-group; however, there can be multiple groups per interface or subinterface.
You must configure the high-priority and medium-priority DLCI values. If you do not explicitly associate a DLCI for the normal-dlci and low-dlci priority levels, the last DLCI specified in the command line is used as the value of the remaining arguments. For example, the following two commands are equivalent:
frame-relay priority-dlci-group 1 40 50 frame-relay priority-dlci-group 1 40 50 50 50
When you configure static map entries using frame-relay map commands or use Inverse ARP, the high-level DLCI is the only DLCI that is mapped. In the example, DLCI 40 is defined as having the highest priority. Therefore, DLCI 40 is the only DLCI that should be included in the frame-relay map command. DLCI 50 should not be included in a frame-relay map command.
Examples
The following example shows the frame-relay priority-dlci-group command configured on a main interface with a static Frame Relay map entry. Note that DLCI 40 is the high-priority DLCI as defined in the frame-relay priority-dlci-group command and the only DLCI included in the frame-relay map command.

The following example shows the frame-relay priority-dlci-group command configured on subinterfaces where multiple priority groups are defined. DLCI 40 is the high-priority DLCI in group 1, and DLCI 80 is the high-priority DLCI in group 2.

Usage Guidelines
Enhanced Local Management Interface must be configured on both the Cisco router and the Cisco switch.
Traffic shaping is optional with Enhanced Local Management Interface. Configure traffic shaping on the interface if you want QoS information to be used by the router for traffic rate enforcement.
Examples
This configuration example shows a Frame Relay interface enabled to receive Enhanced Local Management Interface messages from the Cisco switch that is also configured with Enhanced Local Management Interface enabled. Traffic shaping is also configured on the interface for traffic rate enforcement and dynamic rate throttling. This allows the router to adjust its output rate based on congestion information it receives from the switch.

Modification
Usage Guidelines
When used with voice, the frame-relay route command is applied on both interfaces. If the voice-encap option is specified on one interface, then the incoming frames on that interface are defragmented before being routed to the other interface. The outgoing frames on that interface are then fragmented after being routed from the other interface, and before transmission out the interface.
Examples
The following example configures a static route that allows packets in DLCI 100 and sends packets out over DLCI 200 on interface serial 2:
frame-relay route 100 interface Serial2 200
The following example illustrates the commands you enter for a complete configuration that includes two static routes for PVC switching between interface serial 1 and interface serial 2:

Usage Guidelines
SVC operation can be enabled at the interface level only. Once it is enabled at the interface level, it is enabled on all subinterfaces on the interface. One signalling channel, DLCI 0, is set up for the interface, and all SVCs are controlled from the physical interface.
The first use of this command on the router starts all SVC-related processes on the router. If they are already up and running because SVCs are enabled on another interface, no additional action is taken. These processes are not removed once they are created.
Examples
The following example enables Frame Relay SVC operation on serial interface 0 and starts SVC-related processes on the router:
interface serial 0 ip address 172.68.3.5 255.255.255.0 encapsulation frame-relay frame-relay lmi-type q933a frame-relay svc

Usage Guidelines
For SVCs, the configured peak and average rates are converted to the equivalent CIR, excess burst size (Be), and committed burst size (Bc) values for use by SVC signaling.
This command lets you configure all the traffic shaping characteristics of a virtual circuit in a single command. Using it is simpler than the alternative of entering the three subcommands frame-relay cir out, frame-relay be out and frame-relay bc out, but offers slightly less flexibility.
Examples
The following example associates a map class with specified DLCI and then sets a traffic rate for the map class (and thus for the DLCI):

Usage Guidelines
Use the map-class command and its subcommands to define quality of service (QoS) parameters---such as incoming and outgoing CIR, committed burst rate, excess burst rate, and the idle timer---for the static maps defined under a map list.
Each SVC needs to use a source and destination number, in much the same way that a public telephone network needs to use source and destination numbers. These numbers allow the network to route calls from a specific source to a specific destination. This specification is done through map lists.
Based on switch configuration, addressing can take either of two forms: E.164 or X.121.
An X.121 address number is 14 digits long and has the following form:
Z CC P NNNNNNNNNN
Table 22 describes the codes in an X.121 address number form.
| Code | Meaning | Value |
|---|---|---|
Z | Zone code | 3 for North America |
C | Country code | 10-16 for the United States |
P | Public data network (PDN) code | Provided by the PDN |
N | 10-digit number | Set by the network for the specific destination |
An E.164 number has a variable length; the maximum length is 15 digits. An E.164 number has the fields shown in Figure 2 and described in Table 23.

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
Country Code | Can be 1, 2, or 3 digits long. Some current values are the following:
|
National Destination Code + Subscriber Number | Referred to as the National ISDN number; the maximum length is 12, 13, or 14 digits based on the country code. |
ISDN Subaddress | Identifies one of many devices at the termination point. An ISDN subaddress is similar to an extension on a PBX. |
Examples
In the following SVC example, if IP or AppleTalk triggers the call, the SVC is set up with the QOS parameters defined within the class hawaii. An SVC triggered by either protocol results in two SVC maps, one for IP and one for AppleTalk. Two maps are set up because these protocol-and-address combinations are heading for the same destination, as defined by the dest-addr keyword and the values following it in the map-list command.
map-list bermuda source-addr E164 123456 dest-addr E164 654321 ip 131.108.177.100 class hawaii appletalk 1000.2 class hawaii

10.0 This command was introduced. 12.0(1)T This command was modified to display statistics about virtual access interfaces used for PPP connections over Frame Relay. 12.0(3)XG This command was modified to include the fragmentation type and size associated with a particular PVC when fragmentation is enabled on the PVC. 12.0(4)T This command was modified to include the fragmentation type and size associated with a particular PVC when fragmentation is enabled on the PVC. 12.0(5)T This command was modified to include information on the special voice queue that is created using the queue keyword of the frame-relay voice bandwidth command.
Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to monitor the PPP link control protocol (LCP) state as being open with an "up" state, or closed with a "down" state.
When "vofr" or "vofr cisco" have been configured on the PVC, and a voice bandwidth has been allocated to the class associated with this PVC, configured voice bandwidth and used voice bandwidth are also displayed.
Statistics Reporting
To obtain statistics about PVCs on all Frame Relay interfaces, use this command with no arguments.
Per VC counters are not incremented at all when either autonomous or SSE switching is configured; therefore, PVC values will be inaccurate if either switching method is used.
Traffic Shaping
Congestion control mechanisms are currently not supported, but the switch passes forward explicit congestion notification (FECN) bits, backward explicit congestion notification (BECN) bits, and discard eligibility (DE) bits unchanged from entry to exit points in the network.
If an LMI status report indicates that a PVC is not active, then it is marked as inactive. A PVC is marked as deleted if it is not listed in a periodic LMI status message.
Examples
The various displays in this section show sample output for a variety of different PVCs. Some of the PVCs carry data only; some carry a combination of voice and data.
