Setting a DCE on Frame-Relay question

MalexMalex Member Posts: 22 ■□□□□□□□□□
I'm following along with one of the tech labs, where ones of the steps to set up a Frame-Relay switch is frame-relay intf-type dce I assume to make the Router the DCE. However, with frame-relay encap set up I do not see that command while under the Serial interface.

I am using a 2911 Router on Packet Tracer.

Here's some info on the three interfaces from my running conf:

interface Serial0/2/0 no ip address
encapsulation frame-relay ietf
frame-relay lmi-type ansi
no frame-relay inverse-arp
clock rate 64000

interface Serial0/3/0
no ip address
encapsulation frame-relay
frame-relay lmi-type ansi

clock rate 64000

interface Serial0/3/1
no ip address
encapsulation frame-relay
frame-relay lmi-type ansi
clock rate 64000

Any help would be appreciated, having a hard time finding an answer as to why that command does not appear to me at the same level where it appears for these labs.

    Here are the available commands to me:

    Frame-Switch(config-if)#frame-relay ? interface-dlci Define a DLCI on an interface/subinterface
    inverse-arp Enable/disable FR inverse ARP
    lmi-type Use CISCO-ANSI-CCITT type LMI
    map Map a protocol address to a DLCI address

    Can you check you are using the dce cable a you have connected it to your dce end first.

    All three Serial cables are connected with the DCE end on the Frame Switch(Router) in the middle. I'm using Packet Tracer 6.2.

    Here's my full running config on my Frame Switch:

    I haven't tried really routing everything yet was just curious why these commands aren't an option for me.

    Have you put in the 'frame-relay switching' command on the frame-relay switch (Router)?

    I did a writeup on the frame relay switch's config, it's in the multipoint frame relay link in my sig. It was based on examples that I've seen in the real world.

    I don't think that your mappings are set up right.

    PT doesn't support (config)#frame-relay switching

    I strongly advise everybody to stop the nonsense on PT and get real equipment.. You need to learn how to build cables--straight through and crossovers and maybe a rolled one or two
    Also, PT doesn't support half the commands that exist on real equipment

    Ahh I didn't know that. I used GNS3 for frame relay switching. Works a charm in that.

    I've got physical equipment too and would highly recommend getting some, especially if you want to pursue later certs.

    However, for ease, I fully support using packet tracer (as long as you're aware of it's limitations) and GNS3

    I didn't know that either! Thanks for the answer. At my school we have some routers and switches, is a router and switch enough for any labs that I would have to do at home?

    What I like about Packet Tracer is being able to network to several devices.
