Emulate a Frame circuit in a lab.

[Kevin Melton]

A long time ago, an IT associate of mine built what i think was equivalent to an ethernet crossover cable so that he could link up two serial interfaces configured with Frame Relay in a lab. I think he had to either 1)implement or 2) shut off "frame-relay inverse-arp".

Can anyone pls verify if this is correct. if someone could verify the pinout ad the config at both ends...

Here are some useful TAC documents about this, especially the first one:

To connect the routers, you will need a standard DTE-DCE cable. Cisco do not make one except in two halves, and costing an arm and a leg. But there are independent manufacturers that make them. Have a look on eBay.

Enjoy!
