Elite Team,
I have a hub-and-spoke Frame relay network I am looking to implement -
20 spokes and 1 hub with Frame Relay connections from the hub to each
remote site. I also have a 56K synchronous serial RS232 line I must
transport over this frame-relay connection from the hub to each of the
remote sites (proprietary application). ALL REMOTE SITES RECEIVE THE
SAME INFORMATION FROM THE HUB!
Is there a way I can do this within a Cisco box? Would the DLCI
configuration be able to support these requirements? I'd like to only
send one copy of the feed into the Cisco router (thus requiring only one
serial connection) and then copy it 20 times. Cisco said this can be
done within the frame relay DLCI configuration, but I am not so sure.
I'm assuming that with this method, I'll still need to use 20 x 56K
bandwidth on the frame relay link connected to my hub and that's not
really a big deal to me. I just don't want to have to have 20 serial
interfaces on the Cisco Router to pump each individual feed (copied 20x)
to each remote site.
IP traffic will have to cross the link as well for Internet Access
purposes. CIR at each remote site will probably be about 256K,
including the 56K synchronous serial connection being carried over this
link.
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kenneth E. Wygand
