Configuring CE-PE link on Frame Relay over ATM

Hi!
Need you guys expert opinion on how to configure configuring CE-PE link on Frame Relay over ATM. I am stump by this one because I never done it before. The CE is a Cisco 7206 with ATM PA and the parameters given to us is DLCI number in x/y format...isn't that the format for PVC. When asked, my SP contact says that it is indeed FR over ATM. Any of you guys who have experience to guide on this or point me in the right direction is most welcome. Thanks
Rgds
Helme

Hello Helme,
ask your provider if they are doing FR to ATM service interworking.
In that case one side is configured for Frame-Relay and the other side for ATM
Service interworking is done by provider.
Verify that you have the same MTU on both sides and configure following ISP specifications
ATM uses two numbers to identify a PVC
int atm 4/0
no ip address
no shut
int atm 4/0.1 point-to-point
mtu 1500
ip address x.x.x.1 255.255.255.252
pvc x/y
enc aal5snap
protocol ip x.x.x.2 broadcast
this should be enough to have it working
on the other side configure or have a point-to-point subif configured on FR
see this example

Configuring Frame-Relay and the Frame-Relay Switch To Participate in WAN Routing

Hey,
My WAN in my voice lab is currently functional between all of my routers HQ, BR1, and BR1 with full-mesh connectivity. I am using my PSTN router for the frame-relay switching as is shown in the attached configs. I have used the connect commands for the PVC routing logic.
connect HQ-BR1 Serial0/3/0 101 Serial0/2/0 201
connect HQ-BR2 Serial0/3/0 102 Serial0/2/1 301
connect BR1-BR2 Serial0/2/0 202 Serial0/2/1 302
My question concerns the possibility of getting the PSTN router to participate in the WAN and the OSPF routing process? The connect command tells how the PVCs are to be connected and pass through the PSTN router. Is there anyway to do it so that a PVC connects to the PSTN router itself?
I would specifically like to create a connection between the HQ and PSTN router over the WAN. If anyone has any insight on this I would really appreciate it.
Thank you.

Hello Adam,
you don't need to do FR switching.
You just need to configure a back to back PVC associated to a p2p subinterface under PSTN router interface se0/3/0 and HQ:se0/1/0. the new PVC can be 103 on both sides
PSTN
interface ser0/3/0.103 point-to-point
ip address 10.1.13.1 255.255.255.0
frame-relay interface-dlci 103
HQ
interface ser0/1/0.103 point-to-point
ip address 10.1.13.1 255.255.255.0
frame-relay interface-dlci 103
note: I was able to do this using the older syntax frame-relay route under interface configuration on frame relay switch. I would expect to work for you too with newer syntax connect.
Hope to help

AToM Frame Relay over MPLS

Is it possible to have multipoint topologies with FRoMPLS? In other words, if I'm receiving some Frame Relay PVCs on one physical interface on a PE, can I transport some of them to one remote PE and others to another remote PE? Or do I need to have separate physical interfaces to talk to different remote PEs?
Thanks
Tarek

On the PE router, you can indeed take each one of the DLCIs from a same physical interface and connect them to a different egress PE.
Hope this helps,

Viop over Frame Relay QOS

I'm tryint to apply qos to our frame-relay links.
Rferencing this document
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk652/tk698/technologies_configuration_example09186a0080094af9.shtml
I'm using software vers. 123-14.T3
The problem I am having is that when I apply frame-relay traffic-shaping to the frame-relay serial interface all my data and voice get corrupted(very choppy voice, intermittant pings, application timeouts etc.) My network essentially slows to a crawl.
This occurs before I have applied the class to the dlci.
I would assume no traffic shaping would take place until I apply a class to the frame relay dlci.
Has anyone seen this or have any suggestions?

Hello,
The moment you apply the command "frame-relay traffic-shaping" under the frame-relay serial interface, all the sub-interfaces/DLCIs will default to 56kbps CIR, since you haven't applied the class under the DLCI yet.
Best practice is to configure a default map-class with a higher CIR and apply that under the main interface before you configure frame-relay traffic-shaping. So, if there is no class defined under any sub-interface, the DLCI will inherit the traffic shaping parameters from the class defined under the main interface. If there is a class defined under the DLCI, the traffic shaping properties from that class will take affect for that DLCI.
Hope that helps.

Srikanth

Benifits of point to point over multipoint on frame relay

Can anyone tell me what the above is ?

This is a big area of discussion and difficult to summarise. There are pro's and con's for configuring frame-relay on p2p, p2m and on the physical interface. It really depends on your design requirements. P2P as the name suggests just has 2 devices connected while P2M can be hub and spoke or full/partial mesh. routing protocols work in different ways depending on how the frame-relay is configured (see ospf network types and eigrp/rip split horizon). The choice of frame-relay interface also has implication on how multicast will work.
So to summarise, if you have many frame PVC's in a hub and spoke topology and use P2P you will end up with lots of subinterface which may be undesirable. P2M can get around this issue as the spoke will only need one interface, but there are other issues to think about if you use P2M.

Frame-Relay Fragment

I have a 3640 and several 2611's running 12.2(5d). I am trying to issue the frame-relay fragment command under map-class frame-relay but it is not a option. I want to break up any large packets that would cause latency in the voice traffic. Is there another way to do this other than the frame-relay fragment command?

There are 3 ways in which you could configure frame relay fragmentation. They are:
1.Using the "frame-relay fragment" command, as per the FRF.12 fragmentation.
2.Using the FRF.11 fragmentation. This method is not recommended for use with Voice over IP (VoIP).
3.Cisco Proprietary fragmentation using the command "vofr cisco"
The 3rd options could be the solution for your query.
For more details on this, please refer to the following document:

No modem conection with voip over frame-relay

I'm trying to connect two modems through voip over frame-relay network using the modem passthrough command but that is no working. The voice calls is operating very well but the modems no connect between them. I'm using G-729 codec with ip header compression and data fragment in 80 bytes.

There are some know issues with cisco dsps and V.90+ modems, but we have been able to get most modems to work correctly accross our network. If you are using g729 for all other voice calls you will want to use the modem passthrough command to have both gw's turn to modem passthrough. I typically set up each dial peer with the specific commands, since I have found the global commands are not consistently applied. Here is a sample dial peer config....
dial-peer voice 3 voip
description Default voip peer
preference 1
incoming called-number .T
destination-pattern .T
progress_ind setup enable 3
progress_ind connect enable 8
modem passthrough nse codec g711ulaw
voice-class codec 1
session protocol sipv2
session target sip-server
dtmf-relay rtp-nte
fax rate disable
fax protocol pass-through g711ulaw
ip qos dscp cs3 signaling
no vad
Some of these commands are specific to the isdn signaling set up we have at this site. Also, we are using sip hence the sip session target. But the modem and fax passthrough commands are pretty much universal.
Also, some of those commands are not supported until 12.2.13. You might want to think about an ios upgrade.

Is Low MTU (ie 320) for VoIP over Frame-relay can be used to avoid serialization delay for large data packets?

In order to provide voice quality for VoIP, is FR fragmentation equivalent to lowering the MTU size for the serial subinterface of a Frame relay subinterface?
Is there any isues like stop communications, using Low MTU ?

If the router belongs to any of the
platform listed below, then use
FRF12 for you fragmentation. The MTU size
lowering also works but this can cause a high over
head as it can't be specified on a per dlci level.
With multiple dlci i.e. subinterfaces use per dlci fragmentation.. this helps reduce the overhead of changing the MTU size of the physical interface.

This should help if your router is

all running the right level of IOS.
12.1(5)T and above should work well.

Voice over Frame-Relay

Hi,
Customer of me has several sites connected with leased lines. The leased lines have frame-relay encapsulation (frame-relay back-to-back)
The line has two pvc's configured, one for voice and one for data. The voice PVC works fine. On the data pvc we want to put some QoS.
Here is the partial configuration:
interface Serial0
bandwidth 2000
no ip address
encapsulation frame-relay
no ip route-cache cef
ip route-cache flow
no ip mroute-cache
frame-relay intf-type dce
interface Serial0.1 point-to-point
ip address 10.xx.xx.1 255.255.255.252
no ip mroute-cache
frame-relay interface-dlci 120
interface Serial0.2 point-to-point
ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.252
no ip mroute-cache
frame-relay interface-dlci 100
class VOICE
vofr cisco
map-class frame-relay VOICE
frame-relay cir 512000
frame-relay voice bandwidth 256000
frame-relay fragment 320
frame-relay fair-queue
Question is can I just apply a service policy out to the data DLCI or doi i also have to enable frame-relay traffic shaping?
Thanks,
JH

The disadvantage of shaping is that it will actually limit you bandwidth. That is, you won't be able to use the circuit at full capacity, because of the artificial limitation induced by shaping. This is particularly true for a situation like you where the actual circuits is a leased line, and not a FR network.
A better approach would be to reconfigure for simple hdlc encap, and run VoIP instead. This way, you would have all the QOS features you need for voice and data, and be able to use the full capacity with a much simpler configuration.
Actually, even if you want to retain the FR encapsulation and the voice over FR approach, still using a single PVC would be better, for the same reasons given above.
Hope this helps, please rate post if it does!

Difrence between ... MPLS over Frame-Relay ATM

Hai all,
Sorry to ask very basic quiestion ..can some one tell what is the difrnce and advantage of MPLS over ATM and Frame-Relay ......pls provide me a better link ..for refrnce
Thanks in advance
Lijesh

MPLS over ATM or MPLS over Frame-Relay it's not good idea, because if you use cell-mode labeling, you find someone limitation at this technology. DLCI and VPI/VCI value at this protocols it's not have large space. If you know how operate cell-mode, try to look at just for sample bits length with DLCI value at Frame-Relay protocol or VPI/VCI value at ATM protocolâ¦ Of course you can use same cheat like VCI-merge, but I think it's not very good idea.
Building new network infrastructure at this protocols it's not good ideaâ¦ It's good idea to fast implement MPLS technology in old network infrastructure build with this protocols (just for sample, you can linked ATM forwarding plane and MPLS forwarding plane (in this situation you can abandon to use fixed configuration VPI/VCI for IP network and can use benefits offered ATM technology with MPLS)), but not for new network infrastructure. If you need to offer services with this protocols, you can use Any Transport Over MPLS technology.

Ipx over frame relay and route redistribution

Hi,
When I configure ipx over frame-relay multipoint interface, I need to run eigrp and disable the split horizon, and I'm running ipx rip on the same router thus, redistribution is automatic by default. This will cause potential routing loop when the route is advertised back from the same interface. In this situation, I have few questions:
1. How to prevent routing loop in this situation?
2. What is the administrative distance for ipx rip, eigrp, nslp?
3. How does eigrp and rip convert the metric?
Thank you

ISDN and FRAME-RELAY

Hi All,
I currently have two 2500 routers, to get my hands dirty on ISDN and FRAME-RELAY experiments do i need seperate routers for them?. Because i cannot see where to connect to in regards to the required connections i.e.
2 x Asynchronous/Synchronous Serial Interfaces (DB60)
4 x Serial Interfaces (DB60)
1 x ISDN Interface (RJ45)
1 x Token Ring interface (DB9 and RJ45)
THat i normally hear about when refering to ISDN or FRAME RELAY.
Somebody please put me through.
Secondly i would like to connect my 2500 to the internet ...please put me through how.
Many thanks in Advance

Olu
There are some challenges in what you want to do with this equipment. If each router has 1 x ISDN interface then you can use that for ISDN - but you will need some other piece of equipment to furnish the ISDN switch functionality. You can not just connect 2 ISDN interfaces back to back.
You would be able to do some testing of Frame Relay if you connected the routers back to back - if one of the cables is a DCE cable and one cable is a DTE cable. The testing that you can do with 2 routers back to back is somewhat limited. You could do much better testing if you had a third router which could be configured as a frame relay switch.
Connecting your routers to the Internet will be possible if you connect one of the serial interfaces to an Internet Service provider.
The routers have token ring LAN interfaces. Unless you have some token ring MAUs to establish the connections you will not be able to do effective testing using the token ring LAN interfaces.

Can I backup a frame relay NNI trunk with ISDN?

I have four Cisco routers interlinked as frame relay switches. I would like to backup my NNI trunks with ISDN, is it possible? If so, how do I configure my frame-relay route statements to point to the ISDN if the same statements also point to the serial NNI trunk?

No, you cannot backup with ISDN a Frame relay NNI trunk.
ISDN can backup frame relay interfaces DTE-DCE.

Frame Relay Configuration

All,
Sorry for asking this, but I have been beating my head against the wall here. I am getting a T1 installed in my residence for internet connectivity. I am using an old wic-1-dsu-t1-v1 in a 2610 router. I am unable to get this configuration working. I have a very simple configuration so far on the router, but I am unable to get this to come up. I have put the show run below. Some of the commands are default and are not showing up. Obviously I have changed the ip's to generic ones below. Any ideas?

Sorry when I transposed the ip's to post i made a mistake in them. 1.1.1.2 is my address and 1.1.1.1 is the gateway for them (their side of the t1). I have it configure correctly on my router with the real ip's.
