    Home Lab Setup Questions

    Reply Contact

    I have all the gear I need to setup my home lab for CCIE training.  I had some questions on how to setup the frame relay switch though.

    In the Internetwork Experts docs it shows R6 only has frame connections to BB1 but over 6 DLCI's.  Also the DLCI's are the same on both ends and also the same as other DLCI's used between the other routers (ie 101, 201, etc).  Can anyone help with how they have their frame switch set?

    Thanks

    RQH,

         Below is how I have the frame-relay switch configured for the connection between BB1 and R6. However, for my frame-relay switch I am using a 3640. So the physical serial will be different in your case.

    interface Serial1/2
     description Connected to R6
     no ip address
     encapsulation frame-relay
     serial restart_delay 0
     clockrate 64000
     frame-relay intf-type dce
     frame-relay route 51 interface Serial2/1 51
     frame-relay route 100 interface Serial2/1 100
     frame-relay route 101 interface Serial2/1 101
     frame-relay route 201 interface Serial2/1 201
     frame-relay route 301 interface Serial2/1 301
     frame-relay route 401 interface Serial2/1 401


    interface Serial2/1
    description Connected to BB1
     no ip address
     encapsulation frame-relay
     serial restart_delay 0
     clockrate 64000
     frame-relay intf-type dce
     frame-relay route 51 interface Serial1/2 51
     frame-relay route 100 interface Serial1/2 100
     frame-relay route 101 interface Serial1/2 101
     frame-relay route 201 interface Serial1/2 201
     frame-relay route 301 interface Serial1/2 301
     frame-relay route 401 interface Serial1/2 401

    The BB configs should be part of the config set in your members account.  BB1 happens to be the frame switch.  So there are other serial links there as well.
     
    Check out the physical topology diagrams from the workbook as well, which should help with that!

    Ok.  Going to plead ignorant here.  Where do I find the config set in the members area.  I logged into my account and see 'Subscriptions and Classes', 'Mock labs and rentals', and 'Orders and training info'.  I don't see anything about the configs in any of those.  Help?  :)

     

    Thanks

    When you log in, you should be at subscriptions and classes to begin with...
     
    Click on one of your subscriptions.  Vol1 is perfectly fine.  The next screen has all the breakdowns, but at the very top is stuff about the BB's.  :)

    You can find the reference configs here:

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

    In this case BB1 is also the frame switch, but it could be a separate device.  The link to R6 is back-to-back frame-relay, while the other links are switched.
