        Take a look at the initial configs that we have for the
backbones:

http://www.internetworkexpert.com/downloads/bb1.txt
http://www.internetworkexpert.com/downloads/bb2.txt
http://www.internetworkexpert.com/downloads/bb3.txt

        In this case BB2 is the frame relay switch, but you can just
take that config off of it and adapt it to the interface numbering you
have on your 2811 for BB1.

Thanks for the input guys.

We have a couple of guys going for their CCIE at work (RS, Security and
Voice) so will spec mainly 2811's.

How about this for a start:

Frame Relay Switch 1x 2811 with NM-8A/S
Access Server 1x 2811 with NM-16A and 2x CAB-OCTAL-ASYNC=
R1 1x2811 with 2x WIC-1T
R2 1x2811 with 2x WIC-1T
R3 1x2811 with 1x NM-4A/S
R4 1x2811 with 2x WIC-1T
R5 1x2811 with 2x WIC-1T
R6 1x2811 with 2x WIC-1T
BB1 Use FR Switch
BB2 1x2801
BB3 1x2801 with 1x WIC-1T

4x WS-C3560-24TS-E
12x CAB DB60-DB60 Crossover (what is the cisco part number for this?)

I went with individual WIC-1T's to keep the interface types the same as
the IE topology.

One question I have is if I use the FR switch as BB1, how does this
work?

Thanks,
Jo
