Re: Fun with Frame Relay.

James,

*By default, frame-relay routers generate LMI Status inquiries every 10
seconds, and a full status inquiry every 6th cycle (Every 60 seconds or
every n391 cycle). The interval for status inquiries can be changed using
the Keepalive interface configuration command, whereas, the Frame-relay
lmi-n391dte command can be used to change the interval for the complete
status inquiries. *

* *

*Check the output of the following debug command, it shows the status
inquiries and full status inquiries:*

*On R2*

*R2#Debug frame lmi*

*Note the status inquiries are sent every 10 seconds, these messages are
type 1s, whereas, the complete status inquiries are generated by the local
router every 6th cycle, these message are type 0 messages, and when the
frame-relay switch receives these messages it responds with all the DLCIs
that are configured for that given router. *

*Now....as long as you understand this process, no matter how the question
is asked, you will be fine with it. A nasty one will ask you to change the
interval of Type 0 messages.*
