AS you know Frame-Relay is a well-known WAN technology that generally used for backbone routers. To understand the basic configuration of Frame-Relay, there is a configuration below with three Cisco 3600 Series Router and one Frame-Relay Switch.
First of all, we will start with Frame-Relay Switch. On GNS3 create a Frame-Relay Switch and right click the Frame-Relay Switch. Configure the DLCI – port mapping like below:
R1 Configuration
Now, configure the R2 for Frame-Relay. Here you can get help from “show frame-relay pvc” command.

You are welcome mayukh ;) I hope this website will help you more in the future…
suppose we want to connect r2 to r3 then what we should do sir.
Asking questions are genuinely nice thing if you are not understanding something completely,
except this article gives nice understanding even.
Could you please post the
“Point to Point” configuration of FRAME_RELAY SWTICh
and “Point to Multipoint”
Thanks.
To begin with I want to say fantastic blog!
I had a fast question by which I’d prefer to ask should you don’t mind.
I used to be interested to learn the method that you
center yourself and clear your thinking before writing.
I’ve had difficulty clearing my thoughts in getting
my ideas around. I actually do enjoy writing nevertheless
it just looks like the first ten to fifteen minutes are often wasted just
trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or hints?
Many thanks!
Thanks kosem , very helpful
