If you configure frame-relay switching on the router, it becomes a frame
switch (no longer a router). So, if you really want to do frame between two
routers, you set it up as a normal frame relay, add the frame map statement
with the same dlci, and turn off the lmi with the no keepalive statement.

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.
