Re: DLSW direct encapsulation on Frame Relay

Hi everybody,
                I am focussing on DLSW at the moment for my study.
I have a 2501 and a 2513 with a PC on each ethernet port running MS Netbeui
on XP to generate netbios traffic. The routers are connected to another 2500
which I'm using as a frame switch.

I can get all the different DLSW encaps working, circuits coming up etc so I
know my PC config etc is OK but when I use direct encap I get this message
on the console:

%DLSWP-3-PLFCHANGE: WAN media mtu maximum is 516; lowering peer lf

If I do show dlsw reach I get this:

DLSw Local MAC address reachability cache list
Mac Addr status Loc. port rif
0001.b5ee.a93f FOUND LOCAL TBridge-002 --no rif--

DLSw Remote MAC address reachability cache list
Mac Addr status Loc. peer
0000.9c05.228f FOUND REMOTE on interface Serial0 max-lf(516)

DLSw Local NetBIOS Name reachability cache list
NetBIOS Name status Loc. port rif
FASTPC FOUND LOCAL TBridge-002 --no rif--

DLSw Remote NetBIOS Name reachability cache list
NetBIOS Name status Loc. peer
LITTLETOSH FOUND REMOTE on interface Serial0 max-lf(516)

At this point the frames from the ethernet are dropped as the frame size is
to small and I can not get any connectivity.

if I do a sh int s0 I see that the mtu is 1500 so I'm thinking that this is
to little as a 1500 ethernet packet plus dlsw encap can not fit into this.
OK. So, if I go to my s0 interfaces on either end and add mtu 2000 it all
works OK, the LF changes to 1500 and everything works fine.

Nobody else seems to have mentioned this and it doesn't seem very elegant
though. Are other people getting this to work without changing the MTUs?

If anybody could clarify this behaviour I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

Mike
