rate of 64K or 56K, depending on the ISDN network configuration. Authentication can be by 
DNIS and CLID. 

Switched Frame Relay connections support the same logical interfaces as do nailed 
connections: NNI, DTE, and DCE. 

Keep the following information in mind:

•

Your Frame Relay service provider must allow switched Frame Relay connections.

•

A switched Frame Relay connection is a point-to-point connection and supports only one 
DLCI.

•

Verify that the Committed Information Rate of the DLCI(s) using switched connections 
allow 56K or 64K connections.

To set up a switched Frame Relay connection, you must perform the following general steps:

Set up a Frame Relay profile as follows:

–

Call Type set to Switched

–

FR Type set to NNI, DTE, or DCE, depending on the network configuration

–

FR Prof set to the name of the Frame Relay encapsulated Connection profile

–

Data link information specified as given to you by your service provider

Set up a Frame Relay encapsulated Connection profile as follows:

–

Encaps set to FR

–

Call Type set to Switched

–

Dial#, Calling# and Called# specified if you are authenticated with CLID or DNIS

Set up the Answer profile as follows:

–

FR set to Yes

–

Profile Reqd set to Yes

–

Id Auth set to Require (for CLID) or set to Called Require (for DNIS), depending on 
the authentication

The following example shows how to configure a switched Frame Relay NNI connection, but 
you configure a switched DCE or DTE connection similarly. 

To configure a Frame relay profile for a Frame Relay switched connection, proceed as in the 
following example:

Open Ethernet > Frame Relay> any profile

Specify a Name. For example:

Station=fr-sw-fr

Set Active to Yes.

Set Call Type to Switched.
