Back-to-Back Frame Relay Configurations

Frame Relay switching modules may be connected “back-to-back” without an intervening
Frame Relay network or switch. Such connections are made by using private leased lines,
such as

T1

lines, instead of public Frame Relay networks usually over large geographic

distances.

No special user configuration is necessary for back-to-back connections. The

WSX

software

automatically detects that a Frame Relay Logical

DCE

(i.e., Frame Relay switch) is not present

and that there is another Frame Relay Logical

DTE

(i.e., another

WSX

,

FRAD

, bridge/router) on

the other end of the

WAN

connection. The

WSX

then automatically brings up a Permanent

Virtual Circuit identified with a

DLCI

of 32, which is the same value

IBM

uses in this scenario.

The

WSX

does not bring up

PVC DLCI 32

until it knows that it has established communication

with another

DTE

device rather than a Frame Relay switch.
