2.3.2 - Configure Remote Site Profile for Frame Relay

Each of the PVC’s on the frame relay service must be configured within an individual

remote site profile on the IOLINK router. This is usually done automatically through the

auto-learning process. When the frame relay router first starts up it will query the frame

relay service to try to determine the PVC configurations. If the DLCI numbers of the

PVC’s on your service are determined during startup, the IOLINK router will

automatically create a remote site profile for each PVC. The automatically created remote

site profiles will be named “LinkxDLCIyyy” where x is the physical link number the PVC

is on and yyy is the DLCI of the PVC.

If during this learning process the maximum number of remote sites has been
reached, the IOLINK router will prompt you that there are no remote sites available.
A new remote site cannot be auto-created unless one of the existing remote sites is
manually deleted.

These automatically created remote site profiles may be renamed for easier identification

or usage by changing the Remote Site Alias.

Configuration:

When configuring the IOLINK router to use PAP or CHAP security

Note

authentication, after the IOLINK router has automatically created remote site

profiles for each of the PVC’s, either the remote site profile alias must be

changed to match the Outgoing User Name configured on the remote site

router or vice versa. If the local remote site alias and the remote site routers

outgoing user name do not match, the PVC will always fail with a security

violation. Also note that PPP encapsulation must be enabled to run security

access

authentication.

With auto-learning, the above is all that is required of the user to set-up frame relay

remote site profiles. If desired, parameters may be entered manually as follows:

Each PVC defined on this IOLINK router must have a DLCI (Data Link Connection

Identifier) value assigned for proper frame relay communication.
