frame-relay adaptive-shaping

Note

Effective with Cisco IOS XE Release 2.6, Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)S, and Cisco IOS Release 15.1(3)T, the frame-relay adaptive-shaping becn and frame-relay adaptive-shaping foresight combinations of this command are hidden. Although these command combinations are still available in Cisco IOS software, the CLI interactive Help does not display them if you attempt to view them by entering a question mark at the command line. These combinations of the command will be completely removed in a future release. For the frame-relay adaptive-shaping becncombination, this means that you will need to use the appropriate replacement command (or sequence of commands). For more information (including a list of replacement commands), see the Legacy QoS Command Deprecation feature document in the Cisco IOS XE Quality of Service Solutions Configuration Guide or the Legacy QoS Command Deprecation feature document in the Cisco IOS Quality of Service Solutions Configuration Guide . The frame-relay adaptive-shaping foresight combination of this command will not have a replacement command (or sequence of commands).

Note

Effective with Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2S, the frame-relay adaptive-shaping becncombination of this command is replaced by a modular QoS CLI (MQC) command (or sequence of MQC commands). For the appropriate replacement command (or sequence of commands), see the Legacy QoS Command Deprecation feature document in the Cisco IOS XE Quality of Service Solutions Configuration Guide . The frame-relay adaptive-shaping foresight combination of this command does not have a replacement command (or sequence of commands).

To enable Frame Relay adaptive traffic shaping, use the frame-relay adaptive-shaping command in map-class configuration mode. To disable adaptive traffic shaping, use the no form of this command.

frame-relay adaptive-shaping { becn | foresight | interface-congestion [queue-depth] }

no frame-relay adaptive-shaping { becn | foresight | interface-congestion }

Syntax Description

becn	Enables rate adjustment in response to backward explicit congestion notification (BECN).
foresight	Enables rate adjustment in response to ForeSight messages.
interface-congestion	Enables rate adjustment in response to interface congestion.
queue-depth	(Optional) Maximum number of packets that can be in the interface queue before the interface is considered congested. The range is from 0 to 40 packets. The default is 0 packets.

12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.
12.2SX	This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.
Cisco IOS XE Release 2.6	This command was modified. The frame-relay adaptive-shaping becn and frame-relay adaptive-shaping foresight combinations of this command were hidden.
15.0(1)S	This command was modified. The frame-relay adaptive-shaping becn and frame-relay adaptive-shaping foresight combinations of this command were hidden.
15.1(3)T	This command was modified. The frame-relay adaptive-shaping becn and frame-relay adaptive-shaping foresight combinations of this command were hidden.
Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2S	This command was modified. The frame-relay adaptive-shaping becn combination of this command was replaced by an MQC command (or sequence of MQC commands). The frame-relay adaptive-shaping foresight combination was removed.

Usage Guidelines

This command replaces the frame-relay becn-response-enable command. If you use the frame-relay becn-response-enable command in scripts, you should replace it with the frame-relay adaptive-shaping command.

The frame-relay adaptive-shaping command configures a router to adjust virtual circuit (VC) sending rates in response to BECN or ForeSight backward congestion notification messages or interface congestion.

Include this command in a map-class definition and apply the map class either to the main interface or to a subinterface.

Adaptive traffic shaping for interface congestion can be configured along with BECN or ForeSight. When adaptive shaping for interface congestion is used with BECN or ForeSight, if interface congestion exceeds the queue depth, then the PVC send rate is reduced to minimum committed information rate (minCIR). When interface congestion drops below the queue depth, then the send rate is adjusted in response to BECN or ForeSight.

Note

For adaptive traffic shaping for interface congestion to work, the sum of the minCIR values for all PVCs on the interface must be less than the usable interface bandwidth.

Examples

This example shows the map-class definition for a router configured with traffic shaping and Router ForeSight enabled:

interface Serial0
 no ip address
 encapsulation frame-relay
 frame-relay traffic-shaping
 frame-relay class control-A
!
map-class frame-relay control-A
 frame-relay adaptive-shaping foresight
 frame-relay cir 56000
 frame-relay bc 64000

Examples

In the following example, the queue depth is set at 10 packets. If the number of packets in the interface queue exceeds 10, the rate of traffic destined for PVC 200 will be reduced to the minCIR. When the number of packets in the interface queue drops below 10, then the traffic rate will immediately return to the CIR.

interface serial0
 encapsulation frame-relay
 frame-relay traffic-shaping
 frame-relay interface-dlci 200
 class adjust_vc_class_rate
!
map-class frame-relay adjust_vc_class_rate   
 frame-relay cir 64000
 frame-relay mincir 32000
 frame-relay adaptive-shaping interface-congestion 10

Related Commands

Command	Description
frame-relay traffic-shaping	Enables both traffic shaping and per-VC queueing for all PVCs and SVCs on a Frame Relay interface.
map-class frame-relay	Specifies a map class to define QoS values for an SVC.

frame-relay address registration auto-address

To enable a router to automatically select a management IP address for Enhanced Local Management Interface (ELMI) address registration, use the frame-relay address registration auto-addresscommand in global configuration mode. To disable automatic address selection, use the no form of this command.

frame-relay address registration auto-address

no frame-relay address registration auto-address

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Command Default

Auto address selection is enabled.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History

Release	Modification
12.1(3)T	This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.
12.2SX	This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.

Usage Guidelines

During system initialization, if no management IP address is configured, then the router automatically selects the IP address of one of the interfaces. The router will choose an Ethernet interface first and then serial and other interfaces. If you do not want the router to select a management IP address during system initialization, you can store the no form of this command in the configuration.

When automatic address selection is disabled and an IP address has not been configured using the frame-relay address registration ip global configuration command, the IP address for ELMI address registration will be set to 0.0.0.0.

The no frame-relay address registration ipcommand will set the IP address to 0.0.0.0, even when Frame Relay automatic address selection is enabled.

If you configure the IP address using the frame-relay address registration ip global configuration command, the IP address you configure will overwrite the IP address chosen automatically by the router.

If you enable automatic address selection after configuring the IP address using the frame-relay address registration ip global configuration command, the IP address chosen automatically by the router will overwrite the IP address you originally configured.

Examples

The following example shows ELMI enabled on serial interface 0. The automatic IP address selection mechanism is disabled, and no other management IP address has been configured, so the device will share a valid ifIndex and a management IP address of 0.0.0.0.

interface Serial 0
 no ip address
 encapsulation frame-relay
 frame-relay lmi-type ansi
 frame-relay qos-autosense
!
no frame-relay address registration auto-address

12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.
12.2SX	This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.

Usage Guidelines

A management IP address configured by using the frame-relay address registration ip command will overwrite the IP address chosen by the router when automatic address selection is enabled.

The no frame-relay address registration ip command will disable automatic IP address selection and set the management IP address to 0.0.0.0.

If you enable automatic address selection with the frame-relay address registration auto-address global command after configuring the IP address using the frame-relay address registration ip global configuration command, the IP address chosen automatically by the router will overwrite the IP address you originally configured.

Examples

The following example shows ELMI enabled on serial interface 0. The IP address to be used for ELMI address registration is configured, so automatic IP address selection is disabled by default.

interface Serial 0
 no ip address
 encapsulation frame-relay
 frame-relay lmi-type ansi

10.3	This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.
12.2SX	This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.
12.2(33)SB	This command was enhanced to support a default queue size of 256 packets and implemented on the Cisco 10000 series router for the PRE3 and PRE4.

Usage Guidelines

For purposes of the Frame Relay broadcast queue, broadcast traffic is defined as packets that have been replicated for transmission on multiple DLCIs. However, the broadcast traffic does not include the original routing packet or service access point (SAP) packet, which passes through the normal queue. Because of timing sensitivity, bridged broadcasts and spanning-tree packets are also sent through the normal queue. The Frame Relay broadcast queue is managed independently of the normal interface queue. It has its own buffers and a configurable service rate.

A broadcast queue is given a maximum transmission rate (throughput) limit measured in bytes per second and packets per second. The queue is serviced to ensure that only this maximum is provided. The broadcast queue has priority when transmitting at a rate below the configured maximum, and hence has a guaranteed minimum bandwidth allocation. The two transmission rate limits are intended to avoid flooding the interface with broadcasts. The actual limit in any second is the first rate limit that is reached.

Given the transmission rate restriction, additional buffering is required to store broadcast packets. The broadcast queue is configurable to store large numbers of broadcast packets.

The queue size should be set to avoid loss of broadcast routing update packets. The exact size will depend on the protocol being used and the number of packets required for each update. To be safe, set the queue size so that one complete routing update from each protocol and for each DLCI can be stored. As a general rule, start with 20 packets per DLCI. Typically, the byte rate should be less than both of the following:

N/4 times the minimum remote access rate (measured in bytes per second), where N is the number of DLCIs to which the broadcast must be replicated.
1/4 the local access rate (measured in bytes per second).

The packet rate is not critical if you set the byte rate conservatively. Set the packet rate at 250-byte packets.

Cisco 10000 Series Router Usage Guidelines

In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SB, the default queue size for the frame-relay broadcast-queue is 256 packets.

In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(31)SB, the default queue size is 64 packets.

Note

Effective with Cisco IOS XE Release 2.6 and Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)S, the frame-relay circommand is hidden. Although this command is still available in Cisco IOS software, the CLI interactive Help does not display it if you attempt to view it by entering a question mark at the command line. This command will be completely removed in a future release, which means that you will need to use the appropriate replacement command (or sequence of commands). For more information (including a list of replacement commands), see the Legacy QoS Command Deprecation feature document in the Cisco IOS XE Quality of Service Solutions Configuration Guide or the Legacy QoS Command Deprecation feature document in the Cisco IOS Quality of Service Solutions Configuration Guide .

Note

Effective with Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2S, the frame-relay circommand is hidden. Although this command is still available in Cisco IOS software, the CLI interactive command is replaced by a modular QoS CLI (MQC) command (or sequence of MQC commands). For the appropriate replacement command (or sequence of commands), see the Legacy QoS Command Deprecation feature document in the Cisco IOS XE Quality of Service Solutions Configuration Guide .

To specify the incoming or outgoing committed information rate (CIR) for a Frame Relay virtual circuit, use the frame-relay cir command in map-class configuration mode. To reset the CIR to the default, use the no form of this command.

frame-relay cir { in | out } bps

no frame-relay cir { in | out } bps

12.2SX	This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.

Usage Guidelines

This command can apply to interfaces or subinterfaces.

All relevant parameters defined in the name map class are inherited by each virtual circuit created on the interface or subinterface. For each virtual circuit, the precedence rules are as follows:

Use the map class associated with the virtual circuit if it exists.
If not, use the map class associated with the subinterface if the map class exists.
If not, use map class associated with interface if the map class exists.
If not, use the interface default parameters.

Examples

The following example associates the slow_vcs map class with the serial 0.1 subinterface and defines the slow_vcs map class to have an outbound CIR value of 9600:

interface serial 0.1
 frame-relay class slow_vcs
map-class frame-relay slow_vcs 
 frame-relay cir out 9600

If a virtual circuit exists on the serial 0.1 interface and is associated with some other map class, the parameter values of the second map class override those defined in the slow_vc map class for that virtual circuit.

Usage Guidelines

To remove an entire DE list, use the no form of this command with no options and arguments.

This prioritizing feature requires that the Frame Relay network be able to interpret the DE bit as indicating which packets can be dropped first in case of congestion, or which packets are less time sensitive, or both.

When you calculate packet size, include the data packet size, the ICMP header, the IP header, and the Frame Relay encapsulation bytes. For example, count 92 bytes of data, 8 bytes for the ICMP header, 20 bytes for the IP header, and 4 bytes for the Frame Relay encapsulation, which equals 124 bytes.

Examples

The following example specifies that IP packets larger than 512 bytes (including the 4-byte Frame Relay encapsulation) will have the DE bit set:

frame-relay de-list 1 protocol ip gt 512

12.2SX	This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.

Usage Guidelines

In bidirectional mode, both ends of a virtual circuit (VC) send keepalive requests and respond to keepalive requests. If one end of the VC is configured in the bidirectional mode, the other end must also be configured in the bidirectional mode.

In request mode, the router sends keepalive requests and expects replies from the other end of the VC. If one end of a VC is configured in the request mode, the other end must be configured in the reply or passive-reply mode.

In reply mode, the router does not send keepalive requests, but waits for keepalive requests from the other end of the VC and replies to them. If no keepalive request has arrived within the timer interval, the router times out and increments the error counter by 1. If one end of a VC is configured in the reply mode, the other end must be configured in the request mode.

In passive-reply mode, the router does not send keepalive requests, but waits for keepalive requests from the other end of the VC and replies to them. No timer is set when in this mode, and the error counter is not incremented. If one end of a VC is configured in the passive-reply mode, the other end must be configured in the request mode.

The table below displays parameter values for send and receive sides in bidirectional mode.

Table 1 Bidirectional Mode
Parameter	Send-Side	Receive-Side
Timer	10 seconds	15 seconds
Event window	3	3
Error threshold	2	2
Success events	2	2

The table below displays parameter values for send- and receive-sides in request mode.

Table 2 Request Mode
Parameter	Send-Side	Receive-Side
Timer	10 seconds	no value set
Event window	3	no value set
Error threshold	2	no value set
Success events	2	no value set

The table below displays parameter values for send- and receive-sides in reply mode.

Table 3 Reply Mode
Parameter	Send-Side	Receive-Side
Timer	no value set	15 seconds
Event window	no value set	3
Error threshold	no value set	2

Passive-Reply Mode

In passive-reply mode, no values are set.

Examples

The following example configures one end of a VC to send keepalive requests and respond to keepalive requests from the other end of the VC:

map-class frame-relay vcgrp1
 frame-relay end-to-end keepalive bidirectional

The following example configures one end of a VC to reply to keepalive requests and to increment its error counter if no keepalive requests are received 30 seconds after the latest request:

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must first associate a Frame Relay map class with a specific data-link connection identifier (DLCI), and then enter map-class configuration mode and enable or disable weighted fair queueing for that map class.

When Frame Relay fragmentation is enabled, weighted fair queueing is the only queueing strategy allowed.

If this command is entered without any accompanying numbers, the default values for each of the four parameters will be set. If you desire to alter only the value of the first parameter (congestive_discard_ threshold ), you only need to enter the desired value for that parameter. If you desire to alter only the value of the second, third, or fourth parameters, you must enter values for the preceding parameters as well as for the parameter you wish to change.

Examples

The following example shows how to enable weighted fair queueing and set the default parameter values for the “vofr” Frame Relay map class on a Cisco 2600 series, 3600 series, or 7200 series router or on a Cisco MC3810:

interface serial 1/1
 frame-relay interface-dlci 100
  class vofr
  exit
map-class frame-relay vofr

Usage Guidelines

You should enable fragmentation for low-speed links (meaning those operating at less than 768 kbps).

Frame Relay fragmentation is enabled on a per-PVC basis. Before enabling Frame Relay fragmentation, you must first associate a Frame Relay map class with a specific data-link connection identifier (DLCI) and then enter map-class configuration mode and enable or disable fragmentation for that map class. In addition, you must enable Frame Relay traffic shaping on the interface.

Selecting a Fragmentation Format

Frame Relay frames are fragmented using one of the following formats, depending on how the PVC is configured:

Pure end-to-end FRF.12
FRF.11 Annex C
Cisco proprietary

Only pure end-to-end FRF.12 fragmentation can be configured on switched PVCs.

Cisco recommends pure end-to-end FRF.12 fragmentation on PVCs that are carrying VoIP packets and on PVCs that share the link with other PVCs carrying Voice over Frame Relay (VoFR) traffic.

In pure end-to-end FRF.12 fragmentation, Frame Relay frames having a payload less than the fragment size configured for that PVC are transmitted without the fragmentation header.

FRF.11 Annex C fragmentation and Cisco proprietary fragmentation are used when VoFR frames are transmitted on a PVC. When fragmentation is enabled on a PVC, and when command vofr is configured on that PVC, FRF.11 Annex C format is implemented. When command vofr cisco is configured, Cisco proprietary format is implemented.

In FRF.11 Annex C and Cisco proprietary fragmentation, VoFR frames are never fragmented, and all data packets (including VoIP packets) contain the fragmentation header regardless of the payload size.

Selecting a Fragment Size

You should set the fragment size based on the lowest port speed between the routers. For example, for a hub-and-spoke Frame Relay topology where the hub has a T1 speed and the remote routers have 64-kbps port speeds, the fragmentation size must be set for the 64-kbps speed on both routers. Any other PVCs that share the same physical interface must use the same fragmentation size used by the voice PVC.

With pure end-to-end FRF.12 fragmentation, you should select a fragment size that is larger than the voice packet size.

The table below shows the recommended fragmentation sizes for a serialization delay of 10 ms.

Table 4 Recommended Fragment Size for 10-ms Serialization Delay
Lowest Link Speed in Path	Recommended Fragment Size
56 kbps	70 bytes
64 kbps	80 bytes
128 kbps	160 bytes
256 kbps	320 bytes
512 kbps	640 bytes
768 kbps	1000 bytes
1536 kbps	1600 bytes

Examples

The following example shows how to configure pure end-to-end FRF.12 fragmentation in a map class that is named data. The map class is associated with switched PVC 20 on serial interface 3/3:

Usage Guidelines

Interface fragmentation and class-based fragmentation cannot be configured at the same time. To configure class-based fragmentation that can be applied to individual permanent virtual circuits (PVCs), use the frame-relay fragment command in map-class configuration mode.

Interface fragmentation supports end-to-end FRF.12 fragmentation format.

When fragmentation is enabled on an interface, all PVCs on the main interface and its subinterfaces will have fragmentation enabled with the same configured fragment size.

All the fragments of a Frame Relay frame except the last fragment will have a payload size equal to fragment-size; the last fragment will have a payload less than or equal to fragment-size.

When configuring fragmentation on an interface that has low-latency queueing, configure the fragment size to be greater than the largest high-priority frame that is expected. This configuration prevents higher-priority traffic from being fragmented and queued behind lower-priority fragmented frames. If the size of a high-priority frame is larger than the configured fragment size, the high-priority frame is fragmented.

Local Management Interface (LMI) traffic is fragmented.

Interface fragmentation and Frame Relay traffic shaping cannot be configured at the same time.

Examples

The following example shows the configuration of low-latency queueing, FRF.12 fragmentation, and shaping on serial interface 3/2. Traffic from the priority queue will not be interleaved with fragments from the class-default queue, because shaping is configured.

frame-relay fragmentation voice-adaptive [ deactivation seconds ]

no frame-relay fragmentation voice-adaptive

Syntax Description

deactivation seconds

(Optional) Number of seconds that must elapse after the last voice packet is transmitted before fragmentation is deactivated. The range is from 1 to 10000.

Command Default

Voice-adaptive Frame Relay fragmentation is not enabled. Seconds: 30

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History

Release	Modification
12.2(15)T	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Frame Relay voice-adaptive fragmentation can be used in conjunction with Frame Relay voice-adaptive traffic shaping to reduce network congestion and improve voice transmission quality.

The frame-relay fragmentation voice-adaptive command can be used only on main interfaces. This command is not supported on subinterfaces.

Frame Relay voice-adaptive fragmentation enables a router to fragment large packets whenever packets (usually voice) are detected in the low latency queueing priority queue or H.323 call setup signaling packets are present. When there are no packets in the priority queue for a configured period of time and signaling packets are not present, fragmentation is stopped.

Note

Although the priority queue is generally used for voice traffic, Frame Relay voice-adaptive fragmentation will respond to any packets (voice or data) in the priority queue.

Note the following prerequisites for Frame Relay voice-adaptive fragmentation:

End-to-end fragmentation must be configured in a map class by using the frame-relay fragment command or on the interface by using the frame-relay fragment end-to-end command.
Frame Relay traffic shaping or traffic shaping using the Modular QoS CLI (MQC) must be configured. If end-to-end fragmentation is configured on the interface, traffic shaping using the MQC must be configured.
Low latency queueing must be configured.

Frame Relay voice-adaptive fragmentation supports FRF.12 fragmentation only. Neither FRF.11 Annex C nor Cisco proprietary fragmentation is supported.

Examples

The following examples show the configuration of Frame Relay voice-adaptive traffic shaping and fragmentation. The first example shows end-to-end fragmentation configured in a map class that is associated with PVC 100. In the second example, end-to-end fragmentation is configured directly on the interface.

With both example configurations, priority-queue packets or H.323 call setup signaling packets destined for PVC 100 will result in the reduction of the sending rate from the committed information rate (CIR) to the minimum CIR and the activation of FRF.12 end-to-end fragmentation. If signaling packets and priority-queue packets are not detected for 50 seconds, the sending rate will increase to CIR and fragmentation will be deactivated.

Command Modes

Map-class configuration

Command History

Release	Modification
12.1(2)T	This command was introduced.
12.2(4)T	This command was modified to allow configuration of the maximum buffers in CBWFQ traffic shaping queues (as enabled by the service-policy output map-class command).
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.
12.4(6)T7	The maximum allowable value for queue-sizewas increased to 2048.
12.2SX	This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.

Usage Guidelines

You must enable Frame Relay traffic shaping, using the frame-relay traffic-shaping interface command, before frame-relay holdq and other traffic-shaping map-class commands will be effective.

You must enable Frame Relay switching, using the frame-relay switching global command, before the frame-relay holdq command will be effective on switched PVCs.

The frame-relay holdq command can be applied to switched PVCs that use FIFO default queueing.

Examples

The following example illustrates the configuration of the maximum size of the traffic-shaping queue on a switched PVC. The queue size is configured in a map class called “perpvc_congestion”:

map-class frame-relay perpvc_congestion
 frame-relay holdq 100

frame-relay switching	Enables PVC switching on a Frame Relay DCE or NNI.
frame-relay traffic-shaping	Enables both traffic shaping and per-PVC queueing for all PVCs and SVCs on a Frame Relay interface.

frame-relay idle-timer

To specify the idle timeout interval for a switched virtual circuit (SVC), use the frame-relay idle-timercommand in map-class configuration mode. To reset the idle timer to its default interval, use the no form of this command.

frame-relay idle-timer [ in | out ] seconds

no frame-relay idle-timer seconds

Syntax Description

in	(Optional) timeout interval applies to inbound packet activity.

seconds	Time interval, in seconds, with no frames exchanged on a switched virtual circuit, after which the SVC is released.

Command Default

120 seconds

Command Modes

Map-class configuration

Command History

Release	Modification
11.2	This command was introduced.
11.3	The following keywords were added: in out
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.
12.2SX	This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.

Usage Guidelines

The frame-relay idle-timer command applies to switched virtual circuits that are associated with the map class where the idle-timer is defined.

The idle timer must be tuned for each application. Routing protocols such as Routing Information Protocol (RIP) might keep the SVC up indefinitely because updates go out every 10 seconds.

Beginning in Cisco IOS Release 11.3, if in and out are not specified in the command, the timeout interval applies to both timers. In Cisco IOS Release 11.2, the timeout interval applies to the outbound timer.

Examples

The following example defines the traffic rate and idle timer for the fast_vcs map class and applies those values to DLCI 100, which is associated with that map class:

interface serial 0
 frame-relay interface-dlci 100
  class fast_vc
map-class frame-relay fast_vcs
 frame-relay traffic-rate 56000 128000
 frame-relay idle-timer 30

12.0(33)S	Support for IPv6 was added. This command was implemented on the Cisco 12000 series routers.
Cisco IOS XE Release	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS XE Release.

Usage Guidelines

This command is typically used for subinterfaces; however, it can also be used on main interfaces. Using the frame-relay interface-dlci command on main interfaces will enable the use of routing protocols on interfaces that use Inverse ARP. The frame-relay interface-dlcicommand on a main interface is also valuable for assigning a specific class to a single PVC where special characteristics are desired. Subinterfaces are logical interfaces associated with a physical interface. You must specify the interface and subinterface before you can use this command to assign any DLCIs and any encapsulation or broadcast options.

A DLCI cannot be configured on a subinterface if the same DLCI has already been configured on the main interface. If the same DLCI is to be configured on the subinterface as on the main interface, the DLCI on the main interface must be removed first before it is configured on the subinterface. The DLCI on the main interface can be removed by using the no frame-relay interface-dlci command on the main interface.

This command is required for all point-to-point subinterfaces; it is also required for multipoint subinterfaces for which dynamic address resolution is enabled. It is not required for multipoint subinterfaces configured with static address mappings.

Use the protocol ip ip-address option only when this router or access server will act as the BOOTP server for auto installation over Frame Relay.

By issuing the frame-relay interface-dlci interface configuration command, you enter Frame Relay DLCI interface configuration mode (see the first example below). This gives you the following command options, which must be used with the relevant class or X.25-profile names you previously assigned:

class name --Assigns a map class to a DLCI.
default --Sets a command to its defaults.
no {class name | x25-profile name}--Cancels the relevant class or X.25 profile.
x25-profile name --Assigns an X.25 profile to a DLCI. (Annex G.)

A Frame Relay DLCI configured for Annex G can be thought of as a single logical X.25/LAPB interface. Therefore, any number of X.25 routes may be configured to route X.25 calls to that logical interface.

The voice-cir option on the Cisco MC3810 provides call admission control; it does not provide traffic shaping. A call setup will be refused if the unallocated bandwidth available at the time of the request is not at least equal to the value of the voice-cir option .

When configuring the voice-cir option on the Cisco MC3810 for Voice over Frame Relay, do not set the value of this option to be higher than the physical link speed. If Frame Relay traffic shaping is enabled for a PVC that is sharing voice and data, do not configure the voice-cir option to be higher than the value set with the frame-relay mincir command.

Note

On the Cisco MC3810 only, the voice-cir option performs the same function as the frame-relay voice bandwidthmap-class configuration command introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(3)XG.

Examples

The following example assigns DLCI 100 to serial subinterface 5.17:

! Enter interface configuration and begin assignments on interface serial 5.
interface serial 5
! Enter subinterface configuration by assigning subinterface 17.
interface serial 5.17
! Now assign a DLCI number to subinterface 5.17.
frame-relay interface-dlci 100

The following example specifies DLCI 26 over serial subinterface 1.1 and assigns the characteristics under virtual-template 2 to this PPP connection:

Router(config)# interface serial1.1 point-to-point
Router(config-if)# frame-relay interface-dlci 26 ppp virtual-template2

The following example shows an Annex G connection being created by assigning the X.25 profile “NetworkNodeA” to Frame Relay DLCI interface 20 on serial interface 1 (having enabled Frame Relay encapsulation on that interface):

Router(config)# interface serial 1
Router(config-if)# encapsulation frame-relay
Router(config-if)# frame-relay interface-dlci 20
Router(config-fr-dlci)# x25-profile NetworkNodeA

The following example assigns DLCI 100 to serial subinterface 5.17:

Router(config)# interface serial 5
Router(config-if)# interface serial 5.17
Router(config-if)# frame-relay interface-dlci 100

The following example assigns DLCI 80 to the main interface first and then removes it before assigning the same DLCI to the subinterface. The DLCI must be removed from the main interface first, because the same dlci cannot be assigned to the subinterface after already being assigned to the main interface:

Router(config)# interface serial 2/0
Router(config-if)# encapsulation frame-relay
Router(config-if)# frame-relay interface-dlci 80
Router(config-fr-dlci)# exit
Router(config-if)# interface serial 2/0
Router(config-if)# no frame-relay interface-dlci 80
Router(config-if)# interface serial 2/0.1
Router(config-subif)# frame-relay interface-dlci 80

Command History

Release	Modification
10.0	This command was introduced.
12.2(13)T	The vc-bundle vc-bundle-name keyword and argument pair was added. The apollo, vines, and xns keywords were removed because Apollo Domain, Banyan VINES, and Xerox Network Systems are no longer available in the Cisco IOS software.

12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.
12.2SX	This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.

Usage Guidelines

To enable Inverse ARP for all protocols that were enabled before the prior no frame-relay inverse-arpcommand was issued, use the frame-relay inverse-arp command without arguments. To disable Inverse ARP for all protocols supported on an interface, use the no frame-relay inverse-arp command without arguments.

To enable or disable Inverse ARP for a specific protocol and DLCI pair, use both the protocol and dlci arguments. To enable or disable Inverse ARP for a specific protocol and Frame Relay PVC bundle (consisting of up to eight DLCIs), use both the protocol and vc-bundle vc-bundle-name elements.

To enable or disable Inverse ARP for all protocols on a DLCI or Frame Relay PVC bundle, use either the dlci argument by itself or the vc-bundle vc-bundle-name keyword and argument pair by itself. To enable or disable Inverse ARP for a specific protocol for all DLCIs on the specified interface or subinterface, use only the protocol argument.

When a Frame Relay PVC bundle is specified, only one member of the PVC bundle will handle Inverse ARP packets. By default, the bundle member PVC that handles precedence or EXP level 6 or DSCP level 63 handles Inverse ARP packets. Use the inarp command to configure a different PVC bundle member to handle Inverse ARP packets.

This implementation of Inverse ARP is based on RFC 1293. It allows a router or access server running Frame Relay to discover the protocol address at the other side of a virtual circuit.

The show frame-relay map command displays the word “dynamic” to flag virtual circuits that are created dynamically by Inverse ARP.

Examples

The following example sets Inverse ARP on DLCI 100 on an interface running IPX:

interface serial 0
 frame-relay inverse-arp ipx 100

Related Commands

Command	Description

12.2SX	This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.

Usage Guidelines

Before you can configure the maximum number of connections, TCP header compression must be configured on the interface using the frame-relayiptcpheader-compression command.

The number of TCP header compression connections must be set to the same value at each end of the connection.

Examples

The following example shows the configuration of a maximum of 150 TCP header compression connections on serial interface 0:

interface serial 0
 encapsulation frame-relay
 frame-relay ip tcp header-compression
 frame-relay ip tcp compression-connections 150

show frame-relay ip tcp header-compression	Displays statistics and TCP/IP header compression information for the interface.

frame-relay ip tcp header-compression

To configure an interface to ensure that the associated permanent virtual circuit (PVC) will always carry outgoing TCP/IP headers in compressed form, use the frame-relayiptcpheader-compressioncommand in interface configuration mode. To disable compression of TCP/IP packet headers on the interface, use the no form of this command.

frame-relay ip tcp header-compression [passive]

no frame-relay ip tcp header-compression

Command History

Release	Modification
10.0	This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.
12.2SX	This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.

Usage Guidelines

This command applies to interfaces that support Frame Relay encapsulation, specifically serial ports and High-Speed Serial Interface (HSSI).

Frame Relay must be configured on the interface before this command can be used.

TCP/IP header compression and Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) encapsulation are mutually exclusive. If an interface is changed to IETF encapsulation, all encapsulation and compression characteristics are lost.

When you use this command to enable TCP/IP header compression, every IP map inherits the compression characteristics of the interface, unless header compression is explicitly rejected or modified by use of the frame-relaymapiptcpheadercompressioncommand.

We recommend that you shut down the interface prior to changing encapsulation types. Although this is not required, shutting down the interface ensures the interface is reset for the new type.

Examples

The following example configures serial interface 1 to use the default encapsulation (cisco) and passive TCP header compression:

interface serial 1
 encapsulation frame-relay 
 frame-relay ip tcp header-compression passive

Related Commands

Command	Description
frame-relay map ip tcp header-compression	Assigns header compression characteristics to an IP map different from the compression characteristics of the interface with which the IP map is associated.
