Enabling Permanent Connections to a Central Site

Overview/Description
To recall how Frame Relay operates, and to identify the commands necessary to configure it on a Cisco router

Target Audience
Network engineers responsible for configuring, implementing, troubleshooting, and managing WAN and remote access solutions; network architects responsible for designing WAN and remote access solutions; CCNP candidates; CCIE candidates

Prerequisites
A knowledge of general networking terms and concepts; experience in general Cisco router operation and configuration, including TCP/IP, routing protocols (RIP, IGRP), routed protocols (IP, IPX), standard and extended access lists, PPP operation and configuration over serial links, Frame Relay operation and configuration on interfaces and subinterfaces, and legacy DDR over ISDN-BRI operation and configuration; a basic knowledge of data networking equivalent to the information in the Cisco Certified Network Associate Basics (CCNAB) v2.0 course and the Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices (ICND) v2.0 course; experience working in a network environment is recommended

Expected Duration
160 Minutes

Objectives:

Enabling Permanent Connections to a Central Site

  • recall Frame Relay concepts, identify how Frame Relay connections operate over virtual circuits (VCs), and outline the function of the Local Management Interface (LMI).
  • recognize the steps and commands required to configure a Frame Relay connection.
  • list the commands used to implement and troubleshoot a Frame Relay connection, and identify the key fields for each command.
  • recognize the steps and commands required to configure subinterfaces in order to resolve the reachability issues caused by distance-vector routing protocols and the split horizon rule.
  • configure a Frame Relay interface and subinterface, and verify Frame Relay operation.
  • recall terminology associated with Frame Relay traffic shaping (FRTS) and identify the situations in which FRTS is typically used.
  • list the steps and commands required to configure Frame Relay traffic shaping (FRTS).
  • configure Frame Relay traffic shaping (FRTS).
