        Greetings,
        I would add that for Frame Relay SVC's you also need to set the lmi
type to Q933A.
i.e. issue command: frame-relay lmi-type q933a; on both your router and
frame relay switch. This causes the link to use ITU-T Q.933 Annex A lmi
which supports Frame Relay SVC's. The ANSI and Cisco lmi types don't , to
the best of my knowledge.
        Have fun,
        Mike

        I know that we don't deal with the real world much on this list but
I thought it might interest all of you to know that GTE does not currently
support Frame Relay SVC's. It may be some time before they do.
        
        Configure SVCs on a Physical Interface
        To enable SVC operation on a Frame Relay interface, perform the
following tasks beginning in global configuration mode:

        Task
Command
        Specify the physical interface.
interface serial number 1
        Specify the interface IP address, if needed. ip
address ip-address mask
        Enable Frame Relay encapsulation on the interface.
encapsulation frame-relay
        Assign a map group to the interface.
map-group group-name
        Enable Frame Relay SVC support on the interface. frame-relay
svc

        Map-group details are specified with the map-list command.

        Configure SVCs on a Subinterface
        To configure Frame Relay SVCs on a subinterface, perform all the
tasks in the previous section, except assigning a the map group. After the
physical interface is configured, complete the following tasks beginning in
global configuration mode:

        Task
Command
        Specify a subinterface of the main interface configured for SVC
operation. interface serial number.subinterface-number {multipoint |
point-to-point} 1
        Specify the subinterface IP address, if needed.
ip address ip-address mask
        Assign a map group to the subinterface.
map-group group-name
