Serial Configuration

[londint]

We have the following on the remote end

interface Serialx/0/1:1

no ip address

no ip redirects

no ip directed-broadcast

no ip proxy-arp

encapsulation frame-relay IETF

no fair-queue

frame-relay traffic-shaping

frame-relay lmi-type ansi

frame-relay intf-type dce

!

interface Serialx/0/1:1.1 point-to-point

bandwidth 1984

ip address x.x.x.1 x.x.x.x.

no ip redirects

no ip directed-broadcast

no ip proxy-arp

no arp frame-relay

no cdp enable

frame-relay interface-dlci 16

and on the local end

inteface serial 0/0

bandwidth 1984

ip address x.x.x.2 x.x.x.x

no ip directed-broadcast

no ip mroute-cache

Please how do I configure the local end to correspond with the remote end as it is showing

Interface serial up, line protocol down.

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

on your local end, try and configure the following:

interface serial 0/0

encapsulation frame-relay ietf

bandwidth 1984

no ip address

no ip directed-broadcast

no ip mroute-cache

!

interface serial 0/0.1 point-to-point

bandwidth 1984

ip address x.x.x.2 x.x.x.x

no ip directed-broadcast

no ip mroute-cache

frame-relay lmi-type ansi

frame-relay interface-dlci 16

Is the remote end being used as the frame-relay switch ? Try and add the command:

clock rate XXXXX

to the serial interface on the remote end, where XXXXX is the transmission rate desired (e.g. 64000, 125000, 250000). Also, if the remote end functions as a frame-relay switch, add the global command:

frame-relay switching

Let me know if this works.

Thanks

If the remote end is being used as a frame-relay switch, will I still need to ass the clock rate and frame-relay switching on my local end?

Thanks

Hello,

no, in that case you just need to configure it on the remote end, both clock rate and the frame-relay switching command.

HTH,
