Multipoint Frame Relay Configuration
Basic Multipoint Frame RelayConfiguration on Cisco
Here, in multipoint Frame-Relay configuration, we will use the same Cisco
3600 series routers and a frame relay switch. But here, our configuration will
not be point-to-point only. Routers will be connecting to the routers as
multipoint.
We will start with Frame-Relay Switch again.Create a Frame-Relay Switch and
right click the Frame-Relay Switch. Adjuct the DLCI – port mapping like below:
1:102 10:201
1:103 11:301
1:104 12:401
After mapping, connect the routers to the Frame-Relay Switch port
mentioned in the mapping via serial connection. ( R1 to port 1, R2 to port
10, R3 to port 11, R4 to port 12)
It is time to configure our routers. The Hub Router is R1 again. Make the
below configurations on all routers.
R1 Configuration
R1(config)# no logging console
R1 (config)# int s 0/0
R1 (config-if)# no shut
R1 (config-if)# encapsulation frame-relay
R1 (config-if)# ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0
R1 (config-if)# frame-relay map ip 192.168.10.2 102 broadcast
R1 (config-if)# frame-relay map ip 192.168.10.3 103 broadcast
R1 (config-if)# frame-relay map ip 192.168.10.4 104 broadcast
R1 (config-if)# end
R1 # write
R2 Configuration
R2 (config)# no logging console
R2 (config)# int s 0/0
R2 (config-if)# no shut
R2 (config-if)# encapsulation frame-relay
R2 (config-if)# ip address 192.168.10.2 255.255.255.0
R2 (config-if)# frame-relay map ip 192.168.10.1 201 broadcast
R2 (config-if)# frame-relay map ip 192.168.10.3 201 broadcast
R2 (config-if)# frame-relay map ip 192.168.10.4 201 broadcast
R2 (config-if)# end
R2 # write
R3 Configuration
R3 (config)# no logging console
R3 (config)# int s 0/0
R3 (config-if)# no shut
R3 (config-if)# encapsulation frame-relay
R3 (config-if)# ip address 192.168.10.3 255.255.255.0
R3 (config-if)# frame-relay map ip 192.168.10.1 301 broadcast
R3 (config-if)# frame-relay map ip 192.168.10.2 301 broadcast
R3 (config-if)# frame-relay map ip 192.168.10.4 301 broadcast
R3 (config-if)# end
R3 # write
R4 Configuration
R4 (config)# no logging console
R4 (config)# int s 0/0
R4 (config-if)# no shut
R4 (config-if)# encapsulation frame-relay
R4 (config-if)# ip address 192.168.10.4 255.255.255.0
R4 (config-if)# frame-relay map ip 192.168.10.1 401 broadcast
R4 (config-if)# frame-relay map ip 192.168.10.2 401 broadcast
R4 (config-if)# frame-relay map ip 192.168.10.3 401 broadcast
R4 (config-if)# end
R4 # write
After all the configurations done, you can check the connection between
routers with the below ping commands. And you also check the frame-relay
pvc on routers.
R1 # show frame-relay pvc
R1 # ping 192.168.10.2
R1 # ping 192.168.10.3
R1 # ping 192.168.10.4
R2 # show frame-relay pvc
R2 # ping 192.168.10.1
R2 # ping 192.168.10.3
R2 # ping 192.168.10.4
R3 # show frame-relay pvc
R3 # ping 192.168.10.1
R3 # ping 192.168.10.2
R3 # ping 192.168.10.4
R4 # show frame-relay pvc
R4 # ping 192.168.10.1
R4 # ping 192.168.10.2
R4 # ping 192.168.10.3
