Here is a situation when you can use both frame intf-type dte and dce on the
"frame relay switch"
Lets say you have a 3640 or whatever. You create the frame relay routes
(switching paths ) from one interface to another eg serial 0/1 dlci 100 to
ser 1/0 dlci 110. Now what usually happens is you run from the interface
which is usually dce physical and intf-type dce to another router. But
instead you take a back to back cable and loop it between ser1/0 to say ser
2/0 on the same router. Serial 2/0 now becomes the endpoint with ip
addresses and the termination point of the circuit. Here is where you would
use frame-relay intf-type dte. Although it apparently should not make a
difference, in practice i would match physical and intf-type dce and dtes
together as I have found it can make a difference.
