After the Port and Remote addresses for your logical WAN(s) have been established, now you can assign your
DLCI number(s), map the DLCI to a protocol stack and your logical WAN port address for your site. During
subscribtion of your frame relay service, a DLCI or two DLCIs in the case of the Mounds View site have been
established by your local service provider. Now, to assign the DLCI to your site and then map it to a protocol
stack, you have to click on the OK button in the IP Port Setup dialog box for the WAN to return to the Main
menu. Then click on the Frame Relay button in the Main menu, the Frame Relay Setup dialog box is then
displayed.
In the Frame Relay Setup dialog box a Management Type group is displayed just below the Enable check box.
During subscription of the frame relay services, the management type was defined by your local service
provider. In our typical application lets assume that the management type is Annex D which is the default in
this dialog box. In the center of this dialog box are the default parameters for Annex D which should be
sufficient at this time. If the Management Type required by your local service provider was LMI (Local
Management Interface), or Annex A, then you could click on the respective option button to change the
management type. The default parameters for management type would be displayed in the middle of the
dialog box. Now to assign DLCIs, click on the DLCI button in this dialog box and the Frame Relay DLCI dialog
box is displayed.
From this dialog box you can enter any DLCI number between 16 and 1007, map each DLCI to a protocol
stack, and assign the CIR, Be, and mode for each DLCI. For our typical application, the Mounds View site
was assigned two DLCIs, the River Falls site and the Minneapolis site one DLCI per site. For the Mounds
View site with two DLCIs, DLCI 50 is tied to logical WAN 1 and DLCI 51 is tied to logical WAN 2. To assign
the first DLCI (DLCI 50) which is the default DLCI, click on the configured DLCI's 0050, which is the DLCI for
the first logical WAN for the Moudns View site. To map DLCI 50 to a protocol stack, click on the IP Address
check box and then the down arrow for the IP protocol stack becomes active. Click on the IP protocol stack
down arrow and the logical WAN IP addresses appear in the drop down menu. To map DLCI 50 to logical
WAN 1, click on address 200.2.9.1. This maps that address to DLCI 50.
