Configuring Frame Relay
Configuring Frame Relay
Objectives
View the default internetwork configuration.
Configure Frame Relay connectivity.
Configure Static and Default routing.
Verify connectivity.
Background/Scenario
Four routers must be interconnected in a hub-and-spoke Frame Relay configuration. Router R1 is the hub, and
routers R2, R3, and R4 are spoke routers. The Frame Relay connections will be established using Frame Relay
point-to-point connections over subinterfaces from R1 to each spoke router. Routing will be established using
static routes on the hub router and default routes on all spoke routers. The frame relay switch(es) have already
been configured within the cloud.
Remote administrative access is established using SSH with the username admin and password cisco.
Task 1: Configure Frame Relay and Static Routing on the Hub Router (R1).
a. Create and configure subinterface s0/0/0.102. From global configuration mode, enter the following
commands:
R1(config)# interface Serial0/0/0.102 point-to-point
R1(config-subif)# ip address 10.0.1.1 255.255.255.252
R1(config-subif)# frame-relay interface-dlci 102
R1(config-subif)# exit
b. Repeat the above steps to create and configure subinterface s0/0/0.103 and s0/0/0.104.
R1(config)# interface Serial0/0/0.103 point-to-point
R1(config-subif)# ip address 10.0.1.5 255.255.255.252
R1(config-subif)# frame-relay interface-dlci 103
R1(config-subif)# exit
R1(config)# interface Serial0/0/0.104 point-to-point
R1(config-subif)# ip address 10.0.1.9 255.255.255.252
R1(config-subif)# frame-relay interface-dlci 104
R1(config-subif)# exit
Step 4. Configure Static Routing on R1 to reach the LANs of each spoke router.
Routing between sites could be configured using dynamic or static routing. In this activity, you will configure static
routes to each remote LAN sites.
a. From global configuration mode, enter the following static routes.
R1(config)# ip route 10.20.20.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.1.2
R1(config)# ip route 10.30.30.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.1.6
R1(config)# ip route 10.40.40.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.1.10
b. Exit out of configuration mode and issue the show running-config command to view the final
configuration on R1.

Task 2: Configure Frame Relay and Default routing on the Spoke Routers.
Step 1. Configure the Physical Frame Relay Interface on the spoke routers.
Just as we configured the hub router for Frame Relay, the spoke routers must also be configured.
b. On router R4, configure the following commands. Assign DCLI 101 to the frame-relay connection.
R4(config)# interface serial0/0/0
R4(config-if)# encapsulation frame-relay
R4(config-if)# no shutdown
R4(config)# interface Serial0/0/0.101 point-to-point
R4(config-subif)# ip address 10.0.1.10 255.255.255.252
R4(config-subif)# frame-relay interface-dlci 101
R4(config-subif)# exit
R4(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.0.1.9
