Frame Relay/WAN Configuration on PortServer II
Frame Relay/WAN Configuration on PortServer II Frame Relay/WAN Configuration on PortServer II

Portserver II Frame Connections Connecting a Portserver to a Frame Relay link requires several key pieces of information, including LMI, DLCI, BcMax, BcMin, and CIR and the IP number of the remote device. The example configuration below is for a link between two portservers connecting two private LANs, for a Main office and a Remote office.

[values] in brackets should be replaced with the correct data and no brackets.

    Site 1 Portserver (Main Office)

  1. Set up the physical line
    set frame			
    set frame ra=[main's port#] enable=on lmi=[appropriate]
    	# main's port# is the port on the Main Office PortServer II
    	# for a leased line, lmi should be none
  2. Set up the DLCI table. (For multiple DLCI, repeat this step as necesary).
    set frdlci		
    set frdlci port=[main's port#] dlci=[main's dlci for remote] 
    	# for leased line use dlci=128 for both ends
    and these commands if needed
    set frdlci port=[main's port#] BcMax=[appropriate]
    set frdlci port=[main's port#] BcMin=[appropriate] CIR=[appropriate]
    	# defaults are  BcMax=56000 BcMin=28000 CIR=56000
    	# which are correct for most DDS 56K lines
    	# if they are correct they do not need to be re-entered
    
  3. Create a user for each DLCI to bind IP to the DLCI
    There are two different ways to do this, successful implementation of Frame Relay requires correct IP layout of your network. If you are not sure which style to use, consult your network administrator.

    Unnumbered link style

    set user na=remote
    set user na=remote netw
    set user na=remote ipaddr=[remote's ip] ipmask=[appropriate] protocol=frame 
    set user na=remote frport=[main's port#] frdlci=[main's dlci for remote]
    Numbered link style
    set user na=remote
    set user na=remote netw
    set user na=remote ipaddr=[remote's ip] ipmask=[appropriate] protocol=frame 
    set user na=remote localipaddr=[main's ip]
    set user na=remote frport=[main's port#] frdlci=[main's dlci for remote]
    
    # remote's IP is the main IP number (if it is unnumbered) 
    # or the separate IP number of its frame link (if it is numbered).
    
  4. Set up forwarding as appropriate for your network
    set forw
    set forw state=passive
    		# state options: {off|passive|active}
    
  5. Bring up the link
    set user na=remote dialout=on netrouting=[appropriate]	
    		# netrouting options: {off|send|receive|both}
    		# netrouting is whether the PortServer II listens 
    		# for or broadcasts routing info on the frame

    Site 2 Portserver (Remote Office)

  1. Set up the physical line
    set frame			
    set frame ra=[remote's port#] enable=on lmi=[appropriate]
    	# remote's port# is the port on the Remote Office PortServer II
    	# for a leased line, lmi should be none
  2. Set up the DLCI table. (For multiple DLCI, repeat this step as necesary).
    set frdlci		
    set frdlci port=[remote's port#] dlci=[remote's dlci for main] 
    	# for leased line use dlci=128 for both ends
    and these commands if needed
    set frdlci port=[remote's port#] BcMax=[appropriate]
    set frdlci port=[remote's port#] BcMin=[appropriate] CIR=[appropriate]
    	# defaults are  BcMax=56000 BcMin=28000 CIR=56000
    	# which are correct for most DDS 56K lines
    	# if they are correct they do not need to be re-entered
    
  3. Create a user for each DLCI to bind IP to the DLCI
    There are two different ways to do this, successful implementation of Frame Relay requires correct IP layout of your network. If you are not sure which style to use, consult your network administrator.

    Unnumbered link style

    set user na=main
    set user na=main netw
    set user na=main ipaddr=[main's ip] ipmask=[appropriate] protocol=frame 
    set user na=main frport=[remote's port#] frdlci=[remote's dlci for main]
    Numbered link style
    set user na=main
    set user na=main netw
    set user na=main ipaddr=[main's ip] ipmask=[appropriate] protocol=frame 
    set user na=main localipaddr=[remote's ip]
    set user na=main frport=[remote's port#] frdlci=[remote's dlci for main]
  4. Set up forwarding as appropriate for your network
    set forw
    set forw state=passive
    		# state options: {off|passive|active}
    
  5. Bring up the link
    set user na=main dialout=on netrouting=[appropriate]	
    		# netrouting options: {off|send|receive|both}
    		# netrouting is whether the PortServer II listens 
    		# for or broadcasts routing info on the frame
