Frame Relay configuration task list 182
SmartWare Software Configuration Guide 15 • Frame Relay configuration
Example: Entering Frame Relay PVC configuration mode
The following example enters the configuration mode for PVC with the assigned DLCI of 1 for Frame Relay
over the serial interface on slot 0 and port 0.
node(cfg)#port serial 0 0
node(prt-ser)[0/0]#framerelay
node(frm-rel)[0/0]#pvc 1
node(pvc)[1]#
Configuring the PVC encapsulation type
You must use the PVC configuration command
encapsulation rfc1490 to set the encapsulation type to com-
ply with the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard (RFC 1490). Use this keyword when connecting
to another vendor’s equipment across a Frame Relay network.
This procedure describes how to set the encapsulation type to comply with RFC 1490
Mode: Frame Relay/PVC
Example: Configuring the PVC encapsulation type
The following example sets the encapsulation type to comply with RFC 1490 for PVC with the assigned DLCI
of 1 for Frame Relay over the serial interface on slot 0 and port 0.
node(cfg)#port serial 0 0
node(prt-ser)[0/0]#framerelay
node(frm-rel)[0/0]#pvc 1
node(pvc)[1]#encapsulation rfc1490
Binding the Frame Relay PVC to IP interface
A newly created permanent virtual circuit (PVC) for Frame Relay has to be bound to an IP interface for further
use. The logical IP interface has to be already defined and should be named according to the use of the serial
