Configuration Steps for a Frame Relay Connection
Configuration Steps for a Frame Relay Connection
The example described in this chapter connects a PortMaster router located in a main
office (Bangkok) with a PortMaster router located in a branch office (New York) using
Frame Relay on a synchronous interface.
To install your PortMaster, follow the instructions in the hardware installation guide. If
you need additional help, refer to the troubleshooting chapter of the guide. The example
in this chapter shows variables in italics. Change these values to reflect your network.
Once you have assigned an IP address to the PortMaster, continue with the following
steps:
1. Configure the following settings for the PortMaster in Bangkok:
a. Configure global settings (page 13-8).
b. Configure Ethernet interface settings (page 13-8).
c. Configure synchronous port settings (page 13-9).
2. Configure the following settings for the PortMaster in New York:
a. Configure Ethernet interface settings (page 13-10).
b. Configure synchronous port settings (page 13-10).
3. Troubleshoot the configuration (page 13-11).
You can additionally configure Frame Relay subinterfaces. For information on Frame
Relay subinterfaces see “Frame Relay Subinterfaces” on page 13-12.
Note – You must configure the Ethernet interface before configuring the PortMaster for
a Frame Relay connection. Refer to Chapter 4, “Configuring the Ethernet Interface,” for
more information.
