This only works in some IOS's. I never could get it work, but believe
it does work. Have seen the configs posted before.

I would recommend getting another router to do frame-relay. I got an
AGS with all the needed cables for $300 off ebay.

Or you could try your luck, get one for $100 with the needed serial
interfaces, and go find the right cables. Make sure you understand the
cables/interfaces before you buy one. There's nothing like trying to
get 449 cables to go hd60. It can be a real mess if you don't check out
the cables before you buy.

Another point, even if you do get the frame tunnel to work, then you
have used up two needed routers, that can't be used for routing in your
labs. FR switching is just a layer two operation.

Last thing, any cisco router with four serial interfaces will work.
Might find a cheap token ring router with four serial interfaces.

Hi,

I am trying to create a frame-relay cloud by using 2 routers (FRS1 and
FRS2)

I am not able to get frame-relay switching to work over the cloud.

I have 2 routers connected one to FRS1 and another to FRS2).
FRS1

PVC Statistics for interface Serial1 (Frame Relay DCE)

DLCI = 401, DLCI USAGE = SWITCHED, PVC STATUS = INACTIVE, INTERFACE =
Serial1

What is it that I am missing?
