IV.6.3 Frame Relay-LMI Features

AB
With the LMI global addressing, the values inserted in the DLCI field of a frame areglobally significant addresses of individual end-user devices (for example, routers).
The basic (nonextended) Frame Relay specification supports only values of the DLCI field that identify PVCs withlocal significance
In basic (nonextended) Frame Relay specification, there are no addresses that identify network interfaces, or nodes attached to these interfaces. Therefore, they cannot be discovered by traditional address resolution and discovery techniques
With normal nonextented Frame Relay addressing, _____ must be created to tell routers which DLCIs to use to find a remote device and its associated internetwork address.static maps
multicastSingle packets copied by the network and sent to a specific subset of network addresses
multicast addressSingle address that refers to multiple network devices.
optional LMI featuresaddress extentions, multicasting
Multicast groups are designated bya series of four reserved DLCI values (1019 to 1022).
Frames sent by a device using a multicast reserved DLCI value is replicated by the network andsent to all exit points in the designated set
The multicasting extension also defines LMI messages that notify user devices of theaddition, deletion, and presence of multicast groups
Using frames with a multicast DLCI allows messages to be sent tospecific groups of routers.
The Inverse ARP mechanism allows the router toautomatically build the Frame Relay map
The router learns the DLCIs that are in use from the switch during theinitial LMI exchange.
Once the router learns the DLCIs it then sends an Inverse ARP request toeach DLCI for each protocol configured on the interface if the protocol is supported
The return information from an Inverse ARP is used tobuild the Frame Relay map.
Frame relay maps bind next router hop IP addresses toDLCIs and work together with standard routing tables
Frame relay maps can be statically configured, or can be dynamically created bythe invocation of inverse ARP
In Frame Relay the router next-hop address determined from the routing table must be resolved toa Frame Relay DLCI
The Frame Relay switching table consists of four entries:two for incoming port and DLCI, and two for outgoing port and DLCI
Step one to implement Frame RelayOrder Frame Relay service from a service provider, or create a private Frame Relay cloud
Step two to implement Frame RelayConnect each router, either directly or through a channel service unit/digital service unit (CSU/DSU), to the Frame Relay switch.
Step three to implement Frame RelayThe CPE router is enabled, it sends a Status Inquiry message to the Frame Relay switch
When Status Inquiry message is sent to the Frame Relay switch. The message notifies the switch of the router's status, andasks the switch for the connection status of the other remote routers.
Step four to implement Frame RelayThe FR switch responds with a Status message that includes the DLCIs of the remote routers to which the local router can send data.
Step five to implement Frame RelayFor each active DLCI, each router sends an Inverse ARP request packet, introducing itself and asking for each remote router to identify itself
Step six to implement Frame RelayFor every DLCI that the router learns about through an Inverse ARP message, a map entry is created in the router's Frame Relay map table
FR map table Active state-Indicates that the connection is active andthat routers can exchange data
FR map table Inactive state-Indicates that the local connection to Frame Relay switch is working, butthe remote router's connection to Frame Relay switch is not working.
FR map table Deleted state-Indicates thatno LMI is being received from the Frame Relay switch or no service between the CPE router and Frame Relay switch is occurring.
By default, every ___ the CPE router sends a keepalive message to the Frame Relay switch10 seconds
Every _____ , the routers exchange Inverse ARP messages60 seconds
