Frame Relay Principles and Practices
In this 2-day workshop learn what a frame relay network is, how it works and why
it is so important to data network designers. Essential concepts such as
permanent virtual circuits, Committed Information Rates and LAP-F frame formats
are explained. Mechanisms to manage network congestion such as the "leaky
bucket" are prime topics. Participants will configure a series of Cisco
routers to communicate with each other through a frame relay switch. Various
faults will be introduced and solutions will be analyzed.
Participants will have direct hands-on experience configuring routers to run
TCP/IP over frame relay, and understand each step in the configuration sequence.
Who Should Attend
Networking people responsible for designing and supporting the LAN/WAN
environment. These include: Systems and network engineers and analysts, data
communications managers and analysts, information managers, LAN/WAN specialists
and technicians. Sales and sales support specialists will be well-prepared to
understand and solve customer issues after they complete this class.
Prerequisites
Familiarity with LANs, WANs and TCP/IP is recommended. Prior Cisco hands-on
experience is also recommended.
Workshop Objectives:
- Itemize the features, functions and benefits of frame relay service.
- Define the needed components in a frame relay PVC.
- Set up necessary DLCIs and PVC parameters such as CIR and LMI type.
- Do so both in routers and on switch ports.
- Set up and configure IP to frame relay DLCI maps.
- Understand and implement proper encapsulation using LAP-F.
- Use router commands to show that PVCs are working correctly.
- Understand what Inverse ARP is, and how to see if it is working correctly.
- Prove proper operation by transferring TCP/IP traffic over the link.
- Understand router-derived link-level (LMI) status messages.
- Gain familiarity with all frame relay-related Cisco commands.
- Learn how to avoid complications such as those introduced by split
horizon.
