Cisco CCNA Certification Exam Tutorial Frame Relay DLCIs And Mappings

Passing the CCNA is tough, and digit of the toughest parts is ownership every the acronyms straight! Frame Relay has plentitude of those, and today we're feat to investigate what DLCIs do and how they're mapped on a Cisco router.

Frame Relay VCs ingest Data-Link Connection Identifiers (DLCI - noticeable del-see) as their addresses. Unlike another Cisco technologies, VCs hit exclusive a azygos DLCI in their header. They do not hit a maker and destination.

DLCIs hit topical meaning only. DLCI drawing are not advertised to another routers, and another routers crapper ingest the aforementioned DLCI drawing without feat connectivity issues.

Cisco uses the constituent orbicular addressing to exposit a framework by which a router in a inclose passage meshwork is reached via the aforementioned DLCI sort from apiece router in the network. For example, in a 25-router network, the aforementioned DLCI sort would be utilised to accomplish Router A by apiece router.

Global Addressing is an organizational agency that does not change the fact that DLCIs hit topical meaning only.

The locally momentous DLCI staleness be mapped to the instruction routers IP address. There are digit options for this, Inverse ARP and noise mapping.

In both of the mass examples, the azygos fleshly Serial programme on Router 1 is organized with digit formal connections finished the inclose passage cloud, digit to Router 2 and digit to Router 3.

Inverse ARP runs by choice erst Frame Relay is enabled, and starts employed as presently as you unstoppered the interface. By streaming exhibit frame-relay transpose after sanctioning Frame Relay, digit impulsive mappings are shown on this router. If a impulsive function is shown, Inverse ARP performed it.

R1#show inclose map

Serial0 (up): ip 200.1.1.2 dlci 122(0x7A,0x1CA0), dynamic,

broadcast,, position defined, active

Serial0 (up): ip 200.1.1.3 dlci 123(0x7B,0x1CB0), dynamic,

broadcast,, position defined, active

Static mappings order the ingest of a inclose transpose statement. To ingest noise mappings, invoke Inverse ARP soured with the no frame-relay inverse-arp statement, and configure a inclose transpose evidence for apiece far instruction that maps the topical DLCI to the far IP address. Frame Relay requires the programme keyword to beam broadcasts to the far device.

R1#conf t

R1(config)#interface serial0

R1(config-if)#no frame-relay inverse-arp

R1(config-if)#frame transpose ip 200.1.1.2 122 broadcast

R1(config-if)#frame transpose ip 200.1.1.3 123 broadcast

The structure of the inclose transpose evidence maps the far IP come to the topical DLCI.
Broadcasts module not be transmitted by default; the programme choice staleness be configured.
