Hello!

Switching over an IP Tunnel Example
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios103/acscg103/78272.htm

In this link it is described how the Framerelay switching is configured
through ip tunnel. Here are some points which I can't understand. Perhaps
you could help...

1) How it is possible to tunnel the frame-relay frames??? As I have seen
before GRE can tunnel only network layer data but not the frames....

2) Why the routing on the switches is configured only unidirectionally...
say:
frame-relay route 100 interface tunnel 0 200.
but there is no command on the tunnel 0
frame-relay route 200 interface tunnel 100 ??

How can this function??
Any ideas??

3) Is it possible to use the ethernet connection between communication
server and routerC?? Send somehow the frames encapsulated in frame-relay
without actual frame-relay link?? Provider gives just the ethernet link for
framerelay.

Thanks.
