Goals & Restrictions

1. Advertise loopback with their original mask. (X= Rack no, Y=Device no)

a. Use 200.200.200.XY/32 for all loopback 0 in all routers

b. -

2. Network 0.0.0.0/0 SHALL not appear in any routing table

3. Don’t use “ip default network”

4. All IP Address used in the topology MUST be accessible

5. Use conventional routing algorithms

STEP 3

• Shutdown frame-relay DTE interface from all the previous configurations

• Configure the NEW frame relay configuration as the above diagram.

o Full Mesh Frame Relay Topology

o Hub & spoke partial mesh topology

o You only need to configure Frame-relay DTE

• DO NOT use any subinterfaces in any routers

• Use Static route only.

o Use specific static route that required only.

• Do below show commands in all 4 routers:

o Show frame-relay pvc

CDP - CCIE LAB Preparation Program (CLPP) IMS Asia Sdn Bhd.
 o Show frame-relay lmi

o Show frame route

o Show frame map

o Show interface serial ______

• PING all the IP address from anyway including the loopback IPs.

STEP 4

• Re-Configure the frame relay configuration as the above diagram.

o Full Mesh Frame Relay Topology

o Hub & spoke partial mesh topology

• Use Subinterfaces in R1 & R2 only.

• Re-Use Static routes only.

o Re-use specific static route that required only.

• Do below show commands in all 4 routers:

o Show frame-relay pvc

o Show frame-relay lmi

o Show frame route

o Show frame map

o Show interface serial ______

• PING all the IP address from anyway including the loopback IPs.

STEP 5

• Document your observation

Answer below Questions:

1. What is size of DLCI field in Frame-relay Header ? __________ bits

2. What is the purpose of DLCI field ?

6 | Page
CDP - CCIE LAB Preparation Program (CLPP) IMS Asia Sdn Bhd.
 a. Logical Circuit ID
b. Traffic rate
c. Flag

3. Type of LMIs
a. Cisco
b. Ansi
c. Q933a

4. An interface is by default a "multipoint" or “point-to-point” interface ?

5. In Multi-point interface is frame-relay inverse-arp is ON or OFF ?

6. In Point-to-point interface, is there is Inverse ARP used?

7. You can configure Frame Relay subinterfaces in point-to-point mode only

(TRUE or FALSE)

8. IP split horizon checking is enabled or disabled by default for Frame Relay

encapsulation?

9. When remote router does not support Inverse ARP, you must define the
address-to-DLCI table statically. (TRUE or FALSE)

10. Multipoint subinterfaces act like NBMA networks, as such they (do or do
not?) resolve the split-horizon issues.

11.Multipoint interface require configuration of multiple subnets

12.Multipoint is applicable to point-to-point , partial mesh and full mesh

topologies. (TRUE/FALSE)

13.Describe meanings of “dynamic”, “broadcast” , “active” ?

Router#show frame-relay map
Serial0 (up): ip 3.1.3.2 dlci 140(0x8C,0x20C0), dynamic,
broadcast,, status defined, active
