Help on Case study CCNA4

in CCNA & CCENT
Iam making the case study for CCNA4
But iam having difficulitys on the part where you have to create a framerelay.
Iam using packettracer 5.0, and tryed to make a cloud.

alltough the course and teacher said i need to use a router to simulate the framerelay
So my questions are:
1. How do i create framerelay with Packettracer 5.0
2. Does anybody have a techguide that explains how framerelay work

HUH, What??, Where is the any key?

I think “very senior” gets stuck in there because the last six yahoos that applied for the position couldn’t tell a packet from a Snickers bar.
Luck is where opportunity and proper planning meet
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

i need some kind of techguide with an explanation how framerelay works....
thnx for replaying
HUH, What??, Where is the any key?
if i get an explanation i will post it here
HUH, What??, Where is the any key?
but i seem to got it working now, except the following
i have 4 routers
router 1
router 2
router 3
framerelaycloud ---Router 4
0000
00000
000000
0000000
0000000
connection between all routers are ok
ping router 1 to 2 and 3 are ok
ping router 2 to 1,2,4 are ok
ping router 3 to 4,1,2 are ok
ping router 4 to 3 and 2 are ok
but router1 ping to 4 fails
and router 4 to router 1 fails
any ideas???
HUH, What??, Where is the any key?

what i did to solve it, i gave the router wich redistrubuted ospf into rip a default route
....
now its working...
thnx for help this far....

It's the same thing (It's the CCNA4 case study v3.1), but here's my configuration:
Every router except for Galway (router 4) has OSPF. Router 4 has RIP version 2, with its serial subnet, and its LAN subnet. in Cork (Router 3) I'm using OSPF, but also RIP version 2 for the "172.16.0.0" subnet, which is the summarized address for everything. And I'm doing the "redistribute rip subnets" under router ospf 1.
Now, when I input "show ip route" in Galway, I get this:
R 10.0.0.0/8 [120/2] via 172.16.7.253, 00:00:02, Serial0/0
172.16.0.0/16 is variably subnetted, 5 subnets, 2 masks
C 172.16.0.0/22 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0
R 172.16.7.248/30 [120/1] via 172.16.7.253, 00:00:02, Serial0/0
C 172.16.7.252/30 is directly connected, Serial0/0
R 172.16.8.0/22 [120/1] via 172.16.7.253, 00:00:02, Serial0/0
There's only one address missing there, which should be the 172.16.7.244/30 subnet, but it's not learning it.
In the cork router, I get this:
Cork#show ip rip database
172.16.0.0/22
[1] via 172.16.7.254, 00:00:21, Serial0/0
172.16.7.248/30 directly connected, Serial0/1
172.16.7.252/30 directly connected, Serial0/0
172.16.8.0/22 directly connected, FastEthernet0/0
which shows that the .244 address isn't being transmitted through RIP to the Galway router, I'm guessing, right? So I'm thinking that's the problem, but I can't figure out why it's happening.
Is it because I need to activate RIP in the Belfast router too? Would be weird, because it's never specified in the instructions.
Also, if I input show ip ospf database in Cork:
OSPF Router with ID (172.16.8.1) (Process ID 1)
Router Link States (Area 0)
Link ID ADV Router Age Seq# Checksum Link count
172.16.7.249 172.16.7.249 777 0x80000005 0x00c065 5
172.16.7.245 172.16.7.245 777 0x80000002 0x00e93b 2
172.16.8.1 172.16.8.1 565 0x80000005 0x0062bb 4
Type-5 AS External Link States
Link ID ADV Router Age Seq# Checksum Tag
172.16.0.0 172.16.8.1 565 0x80000001 0x0064dc 0
I don't see the 10.0.0.0 address that's in router Belfast, which is weird because that one should be appearing.
router rip
version 2
redistribute ospf 1 metric 1
would work, and it did!
Now the only thing I'm not clear about is what the "Metric" in there means exactly. It went from 1-16, so I'm guessing it's the hop number, but how would it affect if I put "2" for example?
