Examining WAN Connections.

Topology Diagram
Aim:
connect company network branches together that are located
in different locations using frame relay.

Frame Relay:

It’s a layer 2 technology used to connect LANs and transfer data

between other WANs.
Step 1: build the topology.
Step 1: build the topology.
Step 2: applying frame relay protocol of Main_Branch

a- enter the CLI of Main Branch

b- change the hostname to
MAIN_Branch
c- enter the interface between Main
Branch and Cloud (se 0/0/0) and
assign the ip and open the port.
d- write the command
encap frame-relay to enable frame
relay protocol.
e- assign the IP and DLCI number of
sub branches with commend
frame map ip (sub branch ip) (sub branch DLCI)
Step 2: applying frame relay protocol of sub branches

a- enter the CLI of BR1

b- change the hostname to BR1
c- enter the interface between BR1
and Cloud (se 0/0/0) and assign the
ip and open the port.
d- write the command
encap frame-relay to enable frame
relay protocol.
e- assign the IP and DLCI number of
MAIN_Branch with commend
frame map ip (MAIN BR ip) (MAIN BR DLCI)
Step 2: applying frame relay protocol of sub branches

f- enter the CLI of BR2

g- change the hostname to BR2
h- enter the interface between BR2
and Cloud (se 0/0/0) and assign the
ip and open the port.
i- write the command
encap frame-relay to enable frame
relay protocol.
j- assign the IP and DLCI number of
MAIN_Branch with commend
frame map ip (MAIN BR ip) (MAIN BR DLCI)
Step 2: Check connectivity between main branch and sub branches

a- enter the CLI of MAIN Branch and check connectivity with BR1 and BR2.
Step 2: Check connectivity between main branch and sub branches

b- enter the CLI of any sub branch and check connectivity with Main branch
and BR2.

Note: sub branches can’t connect with each other

Step 3: Examine the configuration of Branch1 andBranch2.

a. Click on Branch1 and branch2 and use various

show commands to view the connectivity to the
network.
b. Use the show running-configuration command to
view the router configuration.
Step 3: Examine the configuration of Branch1 andBranch2.
c. Use the show ip interface brief command to view the status of the interfaces.

d. Use the various show frame-relay map, show frame-relay pvc, and show
frame-relay lmi commands to see the status of the Frame-relay circuit.
Step 3: Examine the configuration of Branch1 andBranch2.
d. Use the various show frame-relay map, show frame-relay pvc, and show
frame-relay lmi commands to see the status of the Frame-relay circuit.
