In this dialog box click on the Enable check box to enable frame relay. At this point we don't have to be
concerned with anything else in this dialog box. We will be coming back through here again when we map the
DLCI(s) to the protocol stack. For now, we can click on the OK button to return to the Main menu. At the Main
menu, click on the IP button to display the IP Port Setup dialog box.
This dialog box displays the default address for the Ethernet port (200.2.9.1). For the Mounds View site in our
typical application we choose IP address of 200.2.8.1 for the Ethernet port. To change the default Ethernet
Port Address, you would have to click on the Port IP Address box and back space through the default address
and enter 200.2.8.1. The same process would have to occurr for the River Falls LAN (LAN 2) with an IP
address of 200.2.11.1 and the Minneapolis LAN (LAN 3) with an IP address of 200.2.12.1. After the correct
port address is entered, you need to click on the WAN tab to display the WAN Port Setup dialog box.
The WAN IP Port Setup dialog box displays the default Port Address and Remote Address for WAN 1, a list of
Logical WANs in the lower left part of the dialog box, and a series of buttons along the right side of the dialog
box. The Port Address and Remote Address displayed in these groups are associated with logical WAN 1. To
add a second logical WAN, click on the Port IP Address field, and update the IP address for your second
logical WAN. Click on the Remote Address IP address and update the remote address. Ensure that the local
and remote IP addresses are within the same network. These logical WAN addresses will appear in the
Frame Relay dialog box when you assign your DLCI numbers.
In our typical application, the Mounds View site has two logical WANs with a Port Address of 200.2.9.1 for
logical WAN 1 with a Remote Address of 200.2.9.2 and a Port Address of 200.2.10.1 for logical WAN 2 with a
Remote Address of 200.2.10.2. The River Falls site must have a Port Address of 200.2.9.2 for its logical WAN
1 with a Remote Address of 200.2.9.1. The logical WAN addresses have to be on the same network in order
for them to communicate through the frame relay network. The same process holds true for logical WAN 2
and the Minneapolis site. So, choosing the correct port and remote address and the corresponding logical
WAN is very important in order to communicate through a frame relay network.
