Configuration procedure

To configure a local Frame Relay virtual circuit:

Step

Command

Remarks

1. Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2. Enter interface view.

interface interface-type interface-number

The interface can be a main interface or subinterface.

3. Create a virtual circuit on the interface.

fr dlci dlci-number

By default, no virtual circuits exist.

4. (Optional.) Configure the encapsulation type for the virtual circuit.

fr encapsulation { ietf | nonstandard }

By default, a virtual circuit uses the encapsulation type configured on its interface.

5. (Optional.) Allow broadcast packets on the virtual circuit.

broadcast

By default, broadcast packets are forbidden on static virtual circuits and allowed on dynamic virtual circuits.

When a virtual circuit allows broadcast packets, the broadcast or multicast packets on the Frame Relay interface of the virtual circuit are also transmitted on the virtual circuit.
