Keith, sorry to disturb you. I have set up 2821 router to be the frame relay switch and everything is working fine. except that i am unable to set the clock rate on the frame relay router. it says" This command applies only to DCE interfaces" even though i have set the intf-type as dce.
Sorry for bugging you. Once again thanks for the video.
The DCE comment is due to the cable you have attached. Show controller serial 0/0 (for the correct port) will likely reveal you have a DTE cable attached. Either way, the client router with the DCE cable can provide clocking and you will still be fine.
In summary: frame switch with DTE cable still needs "intf-type dce" but doesn't need clock rate command. Client connecting to frame switch with DCE cable should use the clock rate command.
thanks for your valuable comment.but the ios that i m using have the facility of frame-relay switching and i m able to configure thre frame-relay but the command that u have in ur video connect is not working in my gns3
Hi This is bikas pandey when i use the command connect R1-R2 serial 1/0 102 serial 1/1 201 in global config mode it give an error that unrecognized command what i m doing wrong plz help me.i am using 3660-i-mz.121-27.bin
Your version of IOS must not support that feature. Cisco has a tool called "the feature navigator" that lets you search by any IOS for any platform, and it can tell you which features are supported on each. From cisco's main URL, add /go/fn at the end, and it will take you to that tool. A different IOS that supports frame-relay switching is what you need.
Keith, I'm currently working on my CCIE and would like to build the exact lab that Cisco uses as part of their 360 program. The Cisco practice labs use a 3640 router but I'm unable to determine what type of interface is installed on it? Show inv produces no ouput but a show interface indictes the hardware type is 4mt. Do you have any idea what type of hardware would be installed in the router? Nice videos by the way. Thanks.
@123456iambelial- conf t frame-relay switching ! On each interface: interface Serial0/0 encapsulation frame-relay clock rate 64000 frame-relay intf-type dce no shut exit ! For all the PVCs to be defined: connect R1-R2 serial 0/1 102 serial 0/2 201 connect R1-R3 serial 0/1 103 serial 0/3 301 etc Make sure you have all the interfaces on the router being configured. Keith
I usually use Visio, and sometimes Techsmith's SNAGIT application for drawing the topologies. The Cisco icons are available directly from Cisco's web site. I don't recall the URL, but a google search should assist you in finding it.
I've watched a few other Frame Relay configuration tutorials and when I watched this one.. it finally clicked! Thank you for sharing that in such a simplified way so that us non-gurus could have it sink it. Good Job!
Excellent Video... Love your videos Keith

It still is likely to be an older IOS version issue, regarding not supporting the newer command of "connect".
For older IOS, use the interface configuration command of: frame-relay route 110 interface Serial0/0/0 310
using the DLCIs you want to use for the frame switch.
Best wishes,
Keith

Take a look at my frame relay dlci video. Always think of the DLCI as the local onramp to reach the other side.
Keith6783 9 months ago
Also, Keith, the DLCI you use on R1 "102", are you referring to global addressing or local addressing?
I am a little confuse what DLCI to put on the command "connect R1-R2 serial 1/0".
I tried to do this: connect R1-R2 serial1/0 101 serial1/1 201
connect R1-R3 serial1/0 serial1/2 301 <--The router didn't take this.

Hello Keith,
I am just wondering what software do you use to draw your topology and where did you get your icons?
Thanks
