Frame Relay 3 routers and 1 nm-4a/s - failed

BroadcastStormBroadcastStorm Member Posts: 496
I am currently trying to configure a Frame Relay using a nm-4a/s as my frame-relay cloud, line protocol on 3 routers stays shut.

Screenshots from 3 routers:

    What's your configuration for the router with the NM-4A/S acting as the frame relay switch?

    None if you look at the 1st show run, this is where the nm-4a/s is plugged.

    You cannot interconnect the 3 routers and have 1 act as a frame-relay switch at the same time if you want to simulate a frame-relay cloud with all the routers on the same subnet in a full mesh or hub and spoke configuration. If you want to interconnect the 3 routers then you would need a 4th router acting as a dedicated frame-relay switch.

    Let me just try to clearly understand this, since I had it working with this configured.

    On the Frame-Relay Switch a "Frame-Relay Route" has to be configured on the serial interfaces.

    On the non Frame-Relay Switch "Frame-Relay Map IP" has to be configured for static DLCI mapping.

    Frame Switch:

    interface Serial1/0
    no ip address
    encapsulation frame-relay
    clock rate 32000
    frame-relay intf-type dce
    frame-relay route 102 interface Serial1/1 201
    frame-relay route 103 interface Serial1/2 301
    !
    interface Serial1/1
    no ip address
    encapsulation frame-relay
    clock rate 32000
    frame-relay intf-type dce
    frame-relay route 201 interface Serial1/0 102
    frame-relay route 203 interface Serial1/2 302
    !
    interface Serial1/2
    no ip address
    encapsulation frame-relay
    clock rate 32000
    frame-relay intf-type dce
    frame-relay route 301 interface Serial1/0 103
    frame-relay route 302 interface Serial1/1 203
    !

    Your seems config OK as long as the DLCI mapping is pointing to the right places

    or you can use:

    interface Serial0/0.200 point-to-point
    ip address 172.23.24.3 255.255.255.0
    frame-relay interface-dlci 102


    This is a must better way of setting up FR ( I think anyway) as RIP works fine on it.
    Using the physical interfaces you will run into split horizon problems.

    You might want to use the broadcast keyword on your map commands. Otherwise routing protocols cannot work.

    Hey guys I am following Chris Bryant's video and I was at the RIP part testing if other RIP routers is receiving network broadcast, but it doesn't look like it's working, can someone please point me to the correct direction, my Frame Relay configuration is showned above.

    Where am I missing this broadcast command is it on the frame-relay switch the route won't accept a broadcast command, please advise thanks.

    Your config looks fine: are you able to ping through your FR network?

    If so have you turned Split Horizon off on R1? If not the RIP updates will not be to go back out of the serial to the other spoke.

    You are not missing any broadcast statments ( only really need them on R1 anyway), I think kryolla just meant to check with the Command Guide as you go so you understand what you are typing.

    Everything is pingable, I am still new to split-horizon, but regardless if RIP is set to Router 2 or 3 Router 1 should receive something from one of the two Router 2/3 which is not able to.

    Everything is pingable, I am still new to split-horizon, but regardless if RIP is set to Router 2 or 3 Router 1 should receive something from one of the two Router 2/3 which is not able to.

    As long as your network statments are corect, then turn split horizon off and wait a mintue. All should be OK.

    P.S. this is a bad way of using FR using RIP, normaly would use sub-interfaces to avoid split horizon issues.

    It's working now, the only change I made was disable the inverse-arp on the frame-relay switch.

    R2#show ip route rip
    1.0.0.0/8 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks
    R 1.0.0.0/8 is possibly down,
    routing via 172.23.24.4, Serial0/0

    R 3.0.0.0/8 [120/1] via 172.23.24.4, 00:00:16, Serial0/0

    R4#
    router rip
    network 3.0.0.0
    network 172.23.0.0
    no auto-summary

    It's converged :P if that's the correct term.

    It looks like the only time my RIP network gets broadcast is if I configure a loopback interface (I gotta still read more about loopback)

    Weird dynamic behaviour on my frame relay I turned off inverse-arp but still gets the following mapping on the Hub.

    Serial0/0 (up): ip 0.0.0.0 dlci 103(0x67,0x1870)
    broadcast,
    CISCO, status defined, active

    Am I loosing my mind here I thought I have a partial mesh Frame Relay.

    But why is router 3 (spoke) getting RIP loopback broadcast from router 2 (spoke), split-horizon is not disabled on router 1 (hub)

    R3#show ip route rip
    R 2.0.0.0/8 [120/1] via 172.23.24.2, 00:00:12, Serial0/0
    [120/1] via 172.23.23.2, 00:00:20, FastEthernet0/0

    how am I going to play with split-horizon, multi point/point to point subinterfaces now.

    I have found the only way to get rid of those 0.0.0.0 from inverse arp is a re-load.

    If you shut down the ports before you configure frame relay, you can avoid those (and the need to reload the router to get rid of those 0.0.0.0 entries).

    What does split horizon do? It prevents a routing update from being sent back out the interface in which it arrived at, so since you have a full mesh just like an ethernet segment split horizon should be enabled. So you need a hub and spoke to play with split horizon and no point to point sub-interfaces just set it up on the main interface or multipoint sub-interface. I dont think you understand the FR map statement. For ethernet you need to send a packet to an IP address that is local to your segment but it cant encapsulate it in an ethernet frame without a mac address. So the router will arp for the mac and now it can send a packet . For FR you have layer 2 address the DLCI via the LMI from FR switch but no IP address so inverse arp will resolve the DLCI to an IP address but ony for directly connected neighbor due to it being non-broadcast the hub cant forward broadcast between spokes. So now you know how to send traffic from spoke to hub but not spoke to spoke so you need a map statement which is a static statement saying to reach this OTHER IP address I have to use the same DLCI going to the hub and the hub will send it to the other spoke. Ping the hub and then the spoke and you will notice spoke to spoke will be twice as long to get the packet. Now you know that for spoke to spoke it comes into the hub and leaves out the same interface thus you need to disable split horizon manually or auto.

    FR map ip 1.1.11 101 broadcast

    Your FR switch config is a full mesh the route statement says I am receiving this dlci route it out this interface and this dlci so you have 2 route statement to reach 2 other routers, if you only have 3 routers then this is a full mesh, all 3 routers can talk to each other directly. Just because you have full mesh fr switch config you can modify the routers to only use certain DLCI and make them partial mesh or hub and spoke by map statements. If you were using inverse arp then it would be full mesh as you have the FR Switch setup as full mesh.

    frame-relay route 201 interface Serial1/0 102
    frame-relay route 203 interface Serial1/2 302

    Hope this helps

    yeah the 0.0.0.0 is part of the autoinstall process when the router does not have a start-up config, just save your config and reload like everyone has suggested.

    EDIT: Look to see if split horizon is enabled for the main interface or sub-interface by default

    Thanks for taking time to explain this, I do indeed have a full-mesh frame-relay configured on the switch and the spokes, but anyway all the video I watched from Chris and Jeremy did not showed the frame-relay route configuration on the frame-relay switch itself.

    I am going to move forward to my lab I cannot seem to get frame-relay route and map on the switch/hub/spoke/spoke after spending reasonable amount of time, anyway my only goal was to simulate split horizon not sending route broadcast out the same interface it learned something on a hub/spoke topology, the concept and how to enable/disable it is simple, so I will move forward, and re-visit later.

    I am continuing with point-to-point and multi-point, this gives me a chance to delete the map statement and start fresh with the sub-interfaces, and yes I changed my frame-relay route/map statement but unable to get connectivity from the two spoke.

    I guess to say the very least is I have a pretty good configuration of a full-mesh topology :P my question is why all the video I watched did not show the part where they configure the Frame-Relay Switch serial interface frame-relay route, they just configure the routers and bam everything works fine with hubs and spokes, do I have a different device than what they have? I have an nm-4a/s running on a 2611 router which is acting as my frame-relay switch.

    Thanks :)

    your FR switch config looks good as a full mesh so dont change it. What issue are you having. Also are you doing your sh commands

    sh frame map
    sh frame pvc

    Take it 1 step at a time
    1)put an ip address on the interface and encap frame relay no shut
    2) sh frame lmi and see if you are exchanging lmi with the fr switch
    3) sh frame pvc and look for pvc status = active
    4) let inverse arp do its job
    5) sh frame map and look for (up) and active
    6) test reach ability to directly connected neighbors
    7) put map statements on spoke routers to reach other spoke routers, don't touch the hub router
    8 test reach ability spoke to spoke

    I modified your config so this should work for hub and spoke

    Hub
    interface Serial0/0
    ip address 172.23.24.2 255.255.255.0
    encapsulation frame-relay
    no fair-queue

    Spoke 1
    interface Serial0/0
    ip address 172.23.24.3 255.255.255.0
    encapsulation frame-relay
    no fair-queue
    frame-relay map ip 172.23.24.4 201
    no frame-relay inverse-arp ip 301

    Spoke 2
    interface Serial0/0
    ip address 172.23.24.4 255.255.255.0
    encapsulation frame-relay
    frame-relay map ip 172.23.24.3 301
    no frame-relay inverse-arp ip 302

    EDIT: Once you have you FR switch set up you dont have to change anything unless you are adding more circuits. I hardly touch my FR switch now most of the config changes are on the DTE Device depending on your config i.e main interface or sub-interface

    Thank you sir! I'll test this tonite :)bowing.gif
  • BroadcastStormBroadcastStorm Member Posts: 496
    It's working thanks so much Kryoll, ping from hub and spoke has different time response which is a good indication, you are indeed correct I was better off leaving the FR switch route statement configuration and just messing with spoke map statements configuration. I should be good now knowing my map statement with partial/full/hub & spoke.

    congrats but you are missing a key word on your map statements if you want this type of traffic to go through. For some reason frame relay is my favorite layer 2 protocol
