Frame Relay issue.

Kalabin

This is the setup.

Limerick (2501) --- Cork (2620) --- Belfast (2501) --- Adtran -- Galway (2501)

The issue is with the frame relay connection between Belfast and Galway. During the lab this morning both were showing Up and Up, but I was unable to ping the two device's. Also, sh ip route did show the two directly connected devices, with the IP of the network for the serial connection. Also the frame-relay mapping's showed that the DLCI's used were static. Part of me is wondering if the Adtran emulator was acting up, and someone changed the DLCI mapping's on it.

I'll post the two config's below and if ya see something please do let me know. I will not be able to do any troubleshooting on it until monday when I go to the lab again.

Try a show frame-relay pvc on both Belfast and Galway and see what you get to see if that Adtran is playing up in terms of offering you DLCIs.

Yeah, I did that while in class. It showed the same DLCI mapping's that I have on my config listed. I'm really leaning towards something on that Adtran. Otherwise though does the config look correct for the frame relay?

If the adtran is your frame switch and the frame routes there have been changed then you will have some problems. Certainly get it checked out.

The configs you have posted are either incomplete or wrong. You are redistributing protocols at both ends but on each side you are missing the config of the routing protocol you are redistributing from.

Kalabin

So, for the redistribute your saying that the router running OSPF as it's routing protocol should be Redistributing OSPF? And same for RIP?

What I mean is..according to your config Galway is

router rip
version 2
redistribute ospf 1
network 155.155.0.0

redistributing ospf into rip.

But from your config there ospf isn't running. Its not configured.

Belfast is running ospf and redistributing rip into that process.

rip isn't running on Belfast.

Sort that out, try a reload and see how you get on.

I think im a bit confused at this point. Galway is running RIP V2, Belfast is running OSPF. Now, if galway is running RIP V2, wouldnt you redistribute the OSPF routing update's to the RIP network? Since Belfast is running OSPF.

So, in my thinking Galway is recieving routing info from Belfast via OSPF. You have to specify on Galway to redistribute those update's via RIP V2. So in the RIP V2 routing statement's you would input the Redistribute OSPF.

Then just the reverse on Belfast. It's using OSPF, but recieving RIP V2 update's from Galway, so it need's to Redistribute those under OSPF. Again im most likely complete backward's on this. As this was a vaguely covered topic in the Acadamy.

Too add to this, Limerick -- Cork -- Belfast are all running OSPF. Belfast connect's to Galway via frame-relay. Galway is running RIP V2 on their network. Or supposed to be rather.

You have a simple problem and it will be a simple solution. Regarding redistribution, look at the configs you have posted for the Belfast and Galway routers. In each case they are redistributing a protocol that is not running on that router according to the configurations you have posted.

ergo..if you are going to redistribute rip into ospf on a router, it's a good idea to have rip configured and running on that router! Same for ospf redistributed into rip..best off have ospf configured and running on that router.

Otherwise you have nothing to redistribute!

Kalabin

Ahh, so for the OSPF router it should be redistrubiting OSPF, and RIP redistributing RIP..
