VPN and Frame Relay

[cdrobey]

I am adding a VPN circuit to a branch location that has a frame relay link. I would like to send specified traffic over the links (i.e. exchange traffic over VPN, SAP over Frame Relay). What is the best way to accomplished this setup?

p.s. Both circuits originate in a 2821 router.

To make different routing decisions based on the type of traffic you will need to implement Policy Based Routing.

The essential concept of Policy Based Routing is that PBR will over-ride the normal routing decision based on a route map.

The general approach that you would take would be to establish your normal routing. I would suggest that it might be easier to set up routing so that normal traffic would take the Frame Relay path. Then you configure an extended access list which permits the traffic which you want to send over the VPN (Exchange or whatever). Then configure a route map which uses the access list to identify the traffic and set the next hop so that it will go over the VPN.
