Hey All! Well, I recently took on the task of configuring a cisco 2503 to work on a frame relay. As anyone who has looked at the cisco documentation would note, that it isn't very user friendly for newbies, and it aint very consise. Today I spent 1 1/2 hours tryin' to configure the 2503 (note, although it is a 2503, we are not using the ISDN interface - we are only using the 2503 because it was aquired very cost effectivly BG). I can make the Ethernet interface work with no problems at all, and can ping and so forth back and forth between a linux box. I cannot make it do anything with the frame interface, the system summary tells me that the interface is okay - and it is 'up', but pings to specfic I.P's do nothing, as do pings from the linux box ( I have setup the default gateway properly).
I know people would charge a lot of money for advice like this, but I'm appealing to anybody who kinda knows what they are doing when it comes to 2500 series routers. Make this your good dead of the year BG.
So, if anybody could run through the process of configuring a 2503 for a single frame relay on Serial0, and what I have to type, and do etc. and the local settings (like the routing protocal used). It would be more appreciated than you could ever imagine :D. And I'd find a way to pay you back (at least partialy) somtime.
Well, THANK YOU VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE!!
Just a little info about our setup: The 2503 is connected to an NTU via an x.21 cable on Serial0. The frame has a PVC of 64K - and will be used for radius. It is tempararily connected through an AUI to Ethernet adaptor, to a hub ( will be a switch once it works :P).
Well, I just have to say THANK YOU once again :D.
interface Serial0 no ip address no ip directed-broadcast encapsulation frame-relay IETF or cisco etc ! interface Serial0.100 point-to-point ip address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX mask no ip directed-broadcast (not necessary but prevent smuf attacks etc ) frame-relay interface-dlci "enter the dlci number for the other end of the link here" "enter frame relay encaps method here, eg IETF" note last 2 lines should be on the one line should be a simple as that, hope this helps.
Best regards,
Malcolm (hivemind) Lockyer
