George:
Actually, there is a trick that I use as a workaround to rebooting... If
you change the encapsulation type of the interface to say HDLC, the router
will get rid of its frame-relay dlci assignments, and I believe you can
change the link type then. This is also useful for cleaning up
point-to-point sub-interfaces as such:
interface serial0/0
encapsulation frame-relay
frame-relay lmi-type cisco
!
interface serial0/0.1 point-to-point
frame-relay interface-dlci 701
interface serial0/0
encapsulation hdlc
encapsulation frame-relay
frame-relay lmi-type cisco
!
interface serial0/0.701 point-to-point
frame-relay interface-dlci 701
Note that you will loose ALL of your frame-relay subinterfaces when you
change your encapsulation, so be sure you copy your configuration to Notepad
first!

Today I was working on a 2500 and accidentally created a point-to-point sub-interface on Serial 0 when I meant to create a multi-point sub-interface. I tried everything I could think of to convert it to a multi-point sub-interface (without re-booting, that is) all to no avail. It would always say something like "cannot change link type". It was version 11 something, I believe. Is this normal behavior? Anyone know a trick for changing it to the other link type? Thanks! George Spahl
