The Frame Relay interface actually consists of one physical
connection between the network server and the switch that provides
the service. This single physical connection provides direct
connectivity to each device on a network, such as a StrataCom
FastPacket wide-area network (WAN).

There are required, basic steps you must follow to enable Frame Relay
for your network. In addition, you can customize Frame Relay for you
particular network needs and monitor Frame Relay connections. These
sections outline these tasks. The tasks in the first two sections are re-

Frame Relay supports encapsulation of all supported protocols in con-
formance with RFC 1490, allowing interoperability between multiple
vendors. Use the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) form of
Frame Relay encapsulation if your router or access server is connected
to another vendor's equipment across a Frame Relay network. IETF
encapsulation is supported either at the interface level or on a per-vir-
tual circuit basis.
