Frame-relay interface not coming up!

ashrafkhanm

Level 1

Hello Everyone,

I 'm trying to set up a home lab with a couple of 28XX and 2651XM series routers.

I would like to simulate a frame-relay connection between HQ, Branch1 and Branch2 . All of them are conneced to a PSTN switch (2811 router) via T1 cross over cables. The connectivity is like this.

                                                                                        HQ

                                                                                          |

                                                                                          |

                                                               Branch 1 ---> PSTN-WAN <--  Branch 2

I have configured all the routers and FR switch with necessary configuration. However the link between HQ and Branch1 is not coming up. On both the routers I could see the line protocol is down.I have pasted the configuration below. Please advise if am missing anything here. (It is not a cable/port issue)

Hi,

1)

interface Serial0/1/0:0

description ** T1 DATA CONNECTION TO BR1-RTR **

there is no frame route statement here but it should

2) HQ frame-relay interface has Cisco encapsulation but BR1 has got IETF so it won't work.

Regards.

Sorry for the late reply Alain...Yes it worked after I made both HQ and BR1 frame relay interfaces as IETF.

Thank you very much for your help !!!!!
