Hi,
 The DLCIs have to be the same on both sides ...coz u r configuring one
router as FR Switch ..so Essentially it is like
 FR S/W --- DTE Router Config.
 The DLCI as you know is the data link layer address between the FR Switch
and the DTE Router and is locally significant (Could be Global if u take LMI
extensions).
 Now, if it were like R1---FR S/W----R2 ie 3 routers with one of them
serving as FR S/W, the DLCIs on the segments between R1--- FR S/w and R2---
FR S/w would have been different.
 Hope it helps.
