Frame Relay - Basic Configurations Hub and Spoke - Part 4 of 4
Frame Relay is well-suited for a hub and spoke design. We can take advantage of Frame Relay's ability to assign more than one virtual circuit (VC) to a single physical access circuit and design a hub and spoke network that gives us connectivity between all endpoints with a minimum of circuit and equipment cost.
We'll revisit Frame Relay point to point connections in more detail in a future lesson, but the steps for configuring a serial interface for a Frame Relay point to point connection are pretty simple:
- Set the interface encapsulation to Frame Relay
- Set LMI type, if necessary
- Disable Frame Relay Inverse-ARP, if necessary
- Configure Layer 3 address on interface
- Manually configure Frame Relay IP to DLCI mapping including spoke to spoke mappings
