Frame Relay configuration task list

SmartWare Software Configuration Guide 

For a Frame Relay network, the line protocol is the periodic exchange of local management interface (LMI) 
packets between the SmartNode and the Frame Relay provider equipment. If the SmartNode is attached to a 
public data network (PDN), the LMI type must match the type used on the public network.

You can set one of the following three types of LMIs:

•

ansi for ANSI T1.617 Annex D,

•

gof for Group of 4, which is the default for Cisco LMI, and

•

itu for ITU-T Q.933 Annex A.

This procedure describes how to set the LMI type.

Mode: Frame Relay

Example: Configuring the LMI type 

The following example sets the LMI type to ANSI T1.617 Annex D for Frame Relay over the serial interface 
on slot 0 and port 0.

node(cfg)#port serial 0 0
node(prt-ser)[0/0]#framerelay
node(frm-rel)[0/0]#lmi-type ansi

A keep-alive interval must be set to configure the LMI. By default, this interval is 10 seconds and, according to 
the LMI protocol, must be less than the corresponding interval on the switch. The keep-alive interval in sec-
onds, which is represented by number, has to be in the range from 1 to 3600.

This procedure describes how to set the keep-alive interval

Mode: Frame Relay

To disable keep-alives on networks that do not utilize LMI, use the 

 interface 

configuration command.

Example: Configuring the keep-alive interval 

The following example sets the keepalive interval to 10 seconds for Frame Relay over the serial interface on slot 
0 and port 0.

node(cfg)#port serial 0 0
node(prt-ser)[0/0]#framerelay
node(frm-rel)[0/0]#keepalive 10

node(frm-rel)[slot/port]#lmi-type {ansi | gof | itu} Sets the LMI type
