Configuring Frame Relay Service
This section first describes how to configure the FRSM card, lines, and ports, then describes how to
add connections. The descriptions are for the CLI execution of the tasks. You can also configure the
FRSM card, lines, and ports by using the CiscoView application. Refer to the CiscoView
documentation for the directions. Also, the easiest way to add connections is by using the Cisco
WAN Manager application. For full details of how to set up a connection through the WAN Manager
GUI, refer to the Cisco WAN Manager Operations manual.
Configuring the FRSM Cards, Lines, and Ports
This section describes how to configure card-level parameters—including Y-cable redundancy
where applicable, physical lines, and logical ports on the FRSM-series cards.
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
If necessary, modify the resource partitioning for the whole card by executing the
cnfcdrscprtn command. You can view resource partitioning through dspcdrscprtn.
cnfcdrscprtn <number_PAR_conns | number_PNNI_conns | number_TAG_conns>
number_PAR_conns is the number of connections in the range 0–1000 available to the
PAR controller.
number_PNNI_conns is the number of connections in the range 0–1000 available to a
PNNI controller.
number_TAG_conns is the number of connections in the range 0–1000 available to the
Tag controller.
For example, you could reserve 300 connections for each controller on the FRSM with:
cnfcdrscprtn 300 300 300
If the physical line is not yet active, use the addln command to activate it. The only
argument addln takes is the line number.
If necessary, modify a line on the MGX-FRSM-2CT3, MGX-FRSM-HS2/B,
MGX-FRSM-HD1/B, AX-FRSM-8T1 or AX-FRSM-8E1 by using cnfln.
To change line parameters on an MGX-FRSM-2CT3, MGX-FRSM-2T3E3, or
MGX-FRSM-2E3, use cnfds3ln. Note that both cnfln and cnfds3ln apply to the
MGX-FRSM-2CT3 but affect different aspects of it.
For the syntax of the line modification commands on all cards except the
MGX-FRSM-HS1/B, refer to the Cisco MGX 8850 Wide Area Edge Switch Command
Reference.
The syntax for the MGX-FRSM-HS1/B is;
cnfln <line_num> <line_type> <line_rate>
•
line_num has the range 1–4,
•
line_num is a number that specifies the mode and must accord with the 12IN1 cable
connected to the port: 1=DTE. 2=DCE. 3=DTE_ST (V.35 only)
•
is a number in the range 1–50 that corresponds to a specific rate for the line. The range
for line rates is 48 Kbps–52 Mbps. In Table 6-1, the number for line_rate corresponds
to a number of bits per second.
