|
0:00:15
|
In our next section here, we're gonna talk about
|
|
0:00:20
|
There are some other topics we'll discuss in
|
|
0:00:26
|
like how does OSPF interact with frame relay?
|
|
0:00:28
|
How did the other IGPs and especially
|
|
0:00:33
|
But for discussion in this section, we're going to constrain
|
|
0:00:42
|
Now, frame relay is starting to become
|
|
0:00:47
|
because it's mainly being replaced by
|
|
0:00:51
|
like either Metro Ethernet, Gigabit,
|
|
0:00:56
|
and then optical technologies like OC-48, OC-192
|
|
0:01:03
|
would only be offered by service providers up to
|
|
0:01:10
|
So, in cases where frame relay
|
|
0:01:14
|
a lot of times in the core of the
|
|
0:01:18
|
they're not actually using frame
|
|
0:01:21
|
Okay, it's more common today where
|
|
0:01:24
|
between the service provider and the customer,
|
|
0:01:28
|
but then, in the service provider network,
|
|
0:01:32
|
using some sort of Layer 2 VPN technology.
|
|
0:01:35
|
So, we'll discuss that briefly when
|
|
0:01:40
|
But the main point being here is that frame relay is not gonna
|
|
0:01:46
|
as it was five years ago or
|
|
0:01:51
|
Now, to understand how frame relay works and
|
|
0:01:56
|
we first need to understand what are the differences between
|
|
0:02:03
|
Now, with broadcast such as Ethernet or
|
|
0:02:09
|
broadcast simply means
|
|
0:02:13
|
is able to send a packet to all connected
|
|
0:02:18
|
So, for Ethernet, the way this is accomplished is with
|
|
0:02:25
|
Where we have a Layer 2 broadcast frame
|
|
0:02:30
|
it delivers it to all ports that are
|
|
0:02:35
|
That's what we're referring
|
|
0:02:38
|
Meaning, the limitation of where a single host can
|
|
0:02:46
|
Now, using a broadcast media like Ethernet,
|
|
0:02:50
|
simplifies the Layer 3 to Layer 2 resolution,
|
|
0:02:54
|
which is where some source needs to figure out
|
|
0:02:59
|
or the frame relay DLCI number, or the ATM PVC
|
|
0:03:07
|
when we are building a frame
|
|
0:03:11
|
Now, the "Non-broadcast Multi-Access" or NBMA medias
|
|
0:03:16
|
such as frame relay, ATM, or ISDN,
|
|
0:03:19
|
the main difference between these and Ethernet...
|
|
0:03:22
|
is that a source cannot send a packet to all
|
|
0:03:29
|
So, a good analogy for this would be ISDN.
|
|
0:03:31
|
So, it's not possible for a router to dial every
|
|
0:03:37
|
when it's trying to send a particular Layer 2 frame.
|
|
0:03:41
|
Now, the equivalence of this in frame relay or ATM
|
|
0:03:45
|
would be that when the router sends a
|
|
0:03:48
|
the frame relay switches do
|
|
0:03:52
|
The frame relay... It's only gonna
|
|
0:03:55
|
that is bound based on
|
|
0:04:00
|
So, we'll also see what the basic
|
|
0:04:04
|
how the service provider will deal with
|
|
0:04:08
|
of inbound and outbound circuit numbers that are gonna
|
|
0:04:15
|
Now, since source is on the MBMA network,
|
|
0:04:18
|
you cannot send a packet to all
|
|
0:04:23
|
it means that we're gonna have some
|
|
0:04:27
|
when we actually try to use our higher
|
|
0:04:32
|
Now, some of the interface
|
|
0:04:36
|
which is called "Pseudo Broadcast"
|
|
0:04:39
|
where when I send a Layer 3
|
|
0:04:46
|
for example, the Layer 3 broadcast going
|
|
0:04:52
|
When the Layer 3 process delivers this
|
|
0:04:57
|
it's up to the frame relay process to
|
|
0:05:01
|
depending on how many circuits are
|
|
0:05:06
|
So, when we look at this from
|
|
0:05:09
|
if I have a single multicast feed
|
|
0:05:14
|
and I send it to a frame relay
|
|
0:05:18
|
it means that the 1 megabit per second feed
|
|
0:05:24
|
on that actual physical link.
|
|
0:05:26
|
The reason why is that we
|
|
0:05:30
|
that can be addressed to multiple Layer 2
|
|
0:05:35
|
So, this feature is called the
|
|
0:05:39
|
where we're basically tricking the Layer 3 process
|
|
0:05:43
|
in the thinking that the Layer 2 media is able to
|
|
0:05:51
|
Now, on a broadcast media,
|
|
0:05:53
|
we don't have this problem again because we can
|
|
0:05:59
|
Like the all F's address for Ethernet.
|
|
0:06:03
|
Now, this also means that the Layer 3
|
|
0:06:07
|
In the case of IPv4, this is what our
|
|
0:06:14
|
Where if a certain sender is trying to figure out what
|
|
0:06:19
|
whether it's be another host, or whether
|
|
0:06:23
|
the sender simply needs to
|
|
0:06:27
|
saying, "What's the MAC address
|
|
0:06:30
|
Then, whoever owns that IP address
|
|
0:06:34
|
should send a unicast reply
|
|
0:06:38
|
We're assuming that this address
|
|
0:06:42
|
because when I send the ARP request out,
|
|
0:06:44
|
it's going to the Layer 2 broadcast address.
|
|
0:06:48
|
So, everyone in the VLAN should receive
|
|
0:06:55
|
which means that if there is
|
|
0:06:57
|
they eventually should get it and reply.
|
|
0:07:01
|
Now, with the MBMA medias,
|
|
0:07:04
|
The reason why is that there's no Layer 2 address
|
|
0:07:12
|
Okay, technically, there is something in the
|
|
0:07:16
|
Frame relay originally
|
|
0:07:21
|
but the vast majority of the time,
|
|
0:07:24
|
So, it was theoretically possible but not
|
|
0:07:30
|
So, with a non-broadcast media,
|
|
0:07:32
|
the issue is actually the
|
|
0:07:35
|
We need to figure out what is the local Layer 2 address
|
|
0:07:45
|
So, in the case of frame relay,
|
|
0:07:48
|
that is mapping to some remote
|
|
0:07:54
|
Some MBMA medias do the remote
|
|
0:07:59
|
Example of the would be ISDN resolving
|
|
0:08:04
|
But in our case today for frame relay,
|
|
0:08:06
|
we are resolving the local Layer 2
|
|
0:08:12
|
This is why the protocol that's used
|
|
0:08:16
|
because it's the opposite
|
|
0:08:21
|
In Ethernet, IPv4 ARP says "I wanna know what's
|
|
0:08:29
|
Where with Inverse ARP, we're saying "What is my
|
|
0:08:37
|
Now, the problem we'll see with
|
|
0:08:41
|
is that it's only possible to send this packet to the
|
|
0:08:48
|
So, an Inverse ARP frame can only be
|
|
0:08:54
|
So, we'll see when we get into partially meshed
|
|
0:08:59
|
it's not possible for the spokes of the network
|
|
0:09:02
|
to resolve each other's addresses to Inverse ARP
|
|
0:09:05
|
if they don't have a directly connected PVC.
|
|
0:09:12
|
Now, regardless what type of MBMA we're talking
|
|
0:09:18
|
There's gonna be two general
|
|
0:09:21
|
that will control what the restrictions
|
|
0:09:26
|
And these types are multipoint
|
|
0:09:30
|
A multipoint interface simply means that
|
|
0:09:36
|
on the interface at the same time.
|
|
0:09:39
|
So, examples of this would be the
|
|
0:09:43
|
or multipoint sub-interfaces.
|
|
0:09:46
|
So, any interface that we're allowed to assign multiple
|
|
0:09:53
|
Since we have different
|
|
0:09:58
|
the router then needs to know
|
|
0:09:59
|
when I am building a frame to a
|
|
0:10:03
|
what is the appropriate Layer 2
|
|
0:10:08
|
So, we'll see that all multipoint interface
|
|
0:10:13
|
Whether we're doing this
|
|
0:10:17
|
or whether we're doing it
|
|
0:10:19
|
all multipoint interfaces in all
|
|
0:10:26
|
Now, the other variation would be point-to-point,
|
|
0:10:29
|
where a point-to-point interface is any type
|
|
0:10:36
|
Now, since there is only one Layer 2 circuit,
|
|
0:10:39
|
it means that we don't care
|
|
0:10:43
|
A good example of this
|
|
0:10:46
|
The PPP protocol by definition
|
|
0:10:52
|
It means that it can be only used if
|
|
0:10:56
|
The source and the destination.
|
|
0:10:59
|
This means that for PPP, we don't
|
|
0:11:03
|
because when I send a frame to the interface,
|
|
0:11:06
|
there's only one possible receiver. It's
|
|
0:11:11
|
Now, for multipoint MBMA interfaces,
|
|
0:11:14
|
point-to-point connections are going
|
|
0:11:18
|
A frame relay point-to-point sub-interface,
|
|
0:11:22
|
These links can only have one
|
|
0:11:27
|
which then implies they do not need
|
|
0:11:33
|
Configuration wise, this would mean
|
|
0:11:37
|
does not need either Inverse ARP
|
|
0:11:42
|
As long as we tell the router what is the
|
|
0:11:48
|
that is the address used in every
|
|
0:11:53
|
The key difference again being
|
|
0:11:57
|
since there can be multiple
|
|
0:12:00
|
the router needs to know which
|
|
0:12:04
|
when I'm sending a packet
|
|
0:12:08
|
So, it's the same logic that Ethernet
|
|
0:12:11
|
It knows that for this IP address, 1.2.3.4,
|
|
0:12:17
|
But for IP address 5.6.7.8,
|
|
0:12:22
|
So, it's a multipoint interface,
|
|
0:12:25
|
to figure out what's the Layer 2
|
|
0:12:30
|
Now, frame relay as a protocol itself,
|
|
0:12:34
|
it is MBMA, which means that we have
|
|
0:12:38
|
This again is only gonna be true
|
|
0:12:43
|
Again, point-to-point interfaces
|
|
0:12:48
|
The specific address that
|
|
0:12:51
|
is known as the "Data Link
|
|
0:12:55
|
The DLCI is the Layer 2 address in frame
|
|
0:13:01
|
and our directly connected neighbor.
|
|
0:13:04
|
So, within the frame relay network, the
|
|
0:13:09
|
It is considered a link local address.
|
|
0:13:14
|
So, link local addressing, similar to the
|
|
0:13:21
|
or the fe80 addressing in IPv6.
|
|
0:13:25
|
It means that for anyone
|
|
0:13:28
|
they don't care what my address is.
|
|
0:13:30
|
Because the only people that are using
|
|
0:13:36
|
Now, frame relay also supports
|
|
0:13:39
|
that runs between the DTE and the DCE,
|
|
0:13:45
|
And the DCE to DCE, which is the
|
|
0:13:51
|
This management protocol is the
|
|
0:13:55
|
that is used to tell the DCE devices, what is the
|
|
0:14:04
|
So, it's allowing us to do some
|
|
0:14:08
|
to make sure that if I send a frame out
|
|
0:14:12
|
that I can know with at least some degree of
|
|
0:14:19
|
Okay, that's what LMI mainly is doing
|
|
0:14:26
|
Now, configuration wise, the first step
|
|
0:14:31
|
is to turn the protocol on.
|
|
0:14:34
|
Normally, a serial interface will be
|
|
0:14:39
|
So, we would need to change
|
|
0:14:42
|
Once we enable the frame relay process,
|
|
0:14:45
|
the LMI type will automatically be detected
|
|
0:14:49
|
based on the type of frames that
|
|
0:14:54
|
So, we don't need to specify
|
|
0:14:59
|
The router will automatically detect this.
|
|
0:15:02
|
We can see this if we look at
|
|
0:15:05
|
It's gonna tell us what type we detected,
|
|
0:15:09
|
what are the number of errors
|
|
0:15:14
|
In the case of link status for frame relay,
|
|
0:15:18
|
the main serial interface in frame relay will
|
|
0:15:26
|
if we are receiving the LMI
|
|
0:15:31
|
If for some reason
|
|
0:15:34
|
or the LMI type does not agree
|
|
0:15:38
|
we would see that the
|
|
0:15:43
|
So, any line protocol down, either means
|
|
0:15:48
|
or in the case they are running frame relay,
|
|
0:15:56
|
Once we learn the LMI information
|
|
0:16:00
|
the LMI is gonna advertise us what are the circuit
|
|
0:16:05
|
and what is the individual
|
|
0:16:09
|
We can see this when we look at
|
|
0:16:12
|
That's the information
|
|
0:16:16
|
Now, we have four different status
|
|
0:16:19
|
In Show Frame Relay PVC.
|
|
0:16:21
|
The first being active, that means
|
|
0:16:26
|
or at least good between me
|
|
0:16:30
|
There can be some cases where
|
|
0:16:33
|
further in the cloud, or in the
|
|
0:16:35
|
the circuit is down, but if the
|
|
0:16:38
|
at least I know that it is good
|
|
0:16:42
|
If the circuit status is inactive,
|
|
0:16:46
|
it means that the number
|
|
0:16:49
|
but for some reason along the end-to-end
|
|
0:16:55
|
So, by default, the LMI protocol
|
|
0:17:00
|
between the DTE on one side
|
|
0:17:06
|
This means that no matter how many
|
|
0:17:09
|
the LMI keepalive keeps track of the
|
|
0:17:14
|
So, if I have a frame relay circuit that's
|
|
0:17:18
|
if I see the circuit status is active in Chicago,
|
|
0:17:24
|
If it's inactive, then, it's telling me that
|
|
0:17:28
|
but I don't really know what it is.
|
|
0:17:30
|
If the circuit status shows deleted,
|
|
0:17:33
|
it means that whatever number
|
|
0:17:37
|
is not what the switch is advertising.
|
|
0:17:40
|
The typical case for this is either you made a
|
|
0:17:47
|
where you used the wrong circuit number,
|
|
0:17:48
|
or in the Frame Relay Interface DLCI
|
|
0:17:53
|
So, circuit status is deleted.
|
|
0:17:54
|
It means that the DTE, who is the router...
|
|
0:17:57
|
is trying to use some value that
|
|
0:18:03
|
The last status, the static PVC, this
|
|
0:18:10
|
Typically, you would only see this last one
|
|
0:18:14
|
between two routers that are
|
|
0:18:19
|
Now, once we enable the encapsulation and
|
|
0:18:25
|
then, we need to tell the Layer 2 process,
|
|
0:18:29
|
what are the particular Layer 3 destinations that
|
|
0:18:35
|
So, this is gonna be a combination of logic
|
|
0:18:40
|
And the Layer 2 frame relay process.
|
|
0:18:44
|
So, we'll get into more detail about this
|
|
0:18:47
|
Especially when we look at
|
|
0:18:51
|
EIGRP over frame relay,
|
|
0:18:53
|
and multicast over frame relay,
|
|
0:18:55
|
there's a lot of Layer 3 issues
|
|
0:18:58
|
that end up being a problem in
|
|
0:19:03
|
that the higher level protocols don't understand.
|
|
0:19:07
|
So, there's actually some designs that you
|
|
0:19:12
|
because frame relay is a non-broadcast media,
|
|
0:19:14
|
and it doesn't support that
|
|
0:19:20
|
Now, when we do the resolution,
|
|
0:19:23
|
the goal here is to tell the router,
|
|
0:19:25
|
what is the local DLCI number that I need to
|
|
0:19:32
|
So, whether it's an IPv4
|
|
0:19:36
|
or whatever other protocol stack we're running.
|
|
0:19:39
|
Now, this resolution can happen two ways:
|
|
0:19:42
|
Either automatically through
|
|
0:19:45
|
or statically through the
|
|
0:19:49
|
In either case, wherever
|
|
0:19:52
|
we're gonna verify this by looking
|
|
0:19:56
|
So, this would be the same logic
|
|
0:20:00
|
It's showing us what are the
|
|
0:20:05
|
Now, the Static Frame
|
|
0:20:08
|
that would be the same
|
|
0:20:11
|
Where we're saying, "This particular MAC address is
|
|
0:20:18
|
Now, frame relay Inverse ARP is
|
|
0:20:23
|
once frame relay is on, and a supported
|
|
0:20:29
|
So, this means once you turn frame relay on,
|
|
0:20:34
|
the router will automatically
|
|
0:20:39
|
out all the circuits that
|
|
0:20:44
|
Certain protocols do not
|
|
0:20:46
|
like IP Version 6 and CLNS, which is a
|
|
0:20:54
|
In our case, since IS-IS is not within
|
|
0:20:58
|
we don't really need to worry about that.
|
|
0:21:00
|
Okay, but since IPv6 is,
|
|
0:21:03
|
we need to know that for any IPv6 configuration
|
|
0:21:09
|
we would be required to do a manual binding.
|
|
0:21:14
|
Because IPv6 does not support
|
|
0:21:19
|
So again, once we configure the protocol,
|
|
0:21:21
|
the Inverse ARP request is gonna go
|
|
0:21:27
|
We can configure the router
|
|
0:21:31
|
by saying No Frame Relay Inverse ARP.
|
|
0:21:33
|
We could also do this on a
|
|
0:21:38
|
But we cannot stop the
|
|
0:21:41
|
to an Inverse ARP request that it has received.
|
|
0:21:45
|
So, in some circumstances, we'll see
|
|
0:21:48
|
that we end up with
|
|
0:21:51
|
where the routers are sending
|
|
0:21:56
|
due to an error in the Layer 2
|
|
0:22:02
|
This means that in frame relay,
|
|
0:22:05
|
to make sure that the Inverse ARP reply comes
|
|
0:22:13
|
So, if I send an Inverse ARP request out,
|
|
0:22:15
|
and there is anyone who
|
|
0:22:18
|
in this case, IPv4.
|
|
0:22:20
|
They will reply with their address
|
|
0:22:26
|
Usually, for IPv4 ARP for
|
|
0:22:30
|
It's only true if you are running Proxy ARP would you
|
|
0:22:37
|
but Inverse ARP does not have
|
|
0:22:43
|
Once the dynamic mapping has been learned,
|
|
0:22:46
|
we'll see that it also support for the Pseudo
|
|
0:22:54
|
So, this means that if a
|
|
0:22:57
|
like an IP packet going to
|
|
0:23:01
|
is received at the frame relay interface,
|
|
0:23:04
|
it would be sent to all Layer 2 circuits
|
|
0:23:07
|
that have frame relay Inverse
|
|
0:23:11
|
Now, the static mapping statement
|
|
0:23:13
|
again is the same logic as a Static ARP Entry.
|
|
0:23:16
|
We're doing a manual binding between the
|
|
0:23:20
|
Syntax wise, this is the
|
|
0:23:23
|
followed by the protocol stack
|
|
0:23:27
|
with the destination addresses,
|
|
0:23:31
|
Or not the DLCI key word,
|
|
0:23:36
|
Okay, so when it says DLCI there,
|
|
0:23:40
|
Okay, then, we have
|
|
0:23:44
|
You technically don't have
|
|
0:23:46
|
but there's no reason that
|
|
0:23:49
|
Anytime you want to support either
|
|
0:23:54
|
over the frame relay circuit, you would
|
|
0:23:59
|
So this means for your IGPs
|
|
0:24:03
|
or for actual multicast routing with PIM
|
|
0:24:09
|
we would need to have the
|
|
0:24:13
|
Now, once we configure the static mapping,
|
|
0:24:16
|
it will override and disable
|
|
0:24:19
|
any dynamically learned mappings and
|
|
0:24:25
|
So, for example, if I configure a statement
|
|
0:24:29
|
1.2.3.4, 100.
|
|
0:24:33
|
I'm saying that for the destination address 1.2.3.4,
|
|
0:24:38
|
I'm gonna use circuit number 100.
|
|
0:24:41
|
This also means that on circuit 100,
|
|
0:24:44
|
I could no longer learn any dynamic
|
|
0:24:50
|
So, it is on a per-protocol and circuit basis.
|
|
0:24:59
|
Okay, there's a question, "The slide says Inverse ARP
|
|
0:25:04
|
Is that for the whole DLCI or
|
|
0:25:07
|
It's for the DLCI and a protocol pair.
|
|
0:25:11
|
So, if I were to do a static mapping for IPv6,
|
|
0:25:15
|
that would not disabled Inverse ARP for IPv4.
|
|
0:25:20
|
If I were to do an IPv4 mapping out circuit 100,
|
|
0:25:27
|
but not on any other circuits
|
|
0:25:32
|
So, unless we issue the No Frame
|
|
0:25:35
|
or the No Frame Relay Inverse ARP
|
|
0:25:41
|
this one here, this is gonna
|
|
0:25:45
|
Disable Inverse ARP completely for the protocol.
|
|
0:25:49
|
But again, the key is that
|
|
0:25:53
|
It does not disable the response.
|
|
0:25:56
|
So, if someone else in the network
|
|
0:26:00
|
the router will always respond and
|
|
0:26:06
|
This is why we can have some
|
|
0:26:10
|
if the router is receiving Inverse ARP requests
|
|
0:26:13
|
from people that are actually
|
|
0:26:17
|
So, we'll look at this a little bit today, and then in
|
|
0:26:24
|
Okay, the next thing I wanna
|
|
0:26:27
|
just Layer 2 frame relay is how the
|
|
0:26:33
|
where auto-install is basically a procedure
|
|
0:26:38
|
that has no configuration.
|
|
0:26:40
|
You plug in the interfaces whether
|
|
0:26:45
|
Turn the router on, it's going to try to automatically
|
|
0:26:52
|
Now, in order to do this,
|
|
0:26:55
|
the router needs to figure out an
|
|
0:26:59
|
to be used as a destination for the TFTP
|
|
0:27:05
|
So, the server can't send the packet to the router
|
|
0:27:10
|
So, the way the router does this is first by
|
|
0:27:15
|
Now, if it's an Ethernet interface, there's gonna
|
|
0:27:20
|
So, this means that the router will automatically
|
|
0:27:25
|
to try to get an address, and then try
|
|
0:27:30
|
For a point-to-point serial
|
|
0:27:36
|
it does this through the "Serial
|
|
0:27:40
|
Where with frame relay, it does
|
|
0:27:46
|
Now, the reason that I'm mentioning this
|
|
0:27:48
|
is that when the router boots up
|
|
0:27:53
|
it will automatically detect the encapsulation
|
|
0:27:58
|
learn the DLCIs through LMI,
|
|
0:28:01
|
and send a BOOTP request
|
|
0:28:06
|
Now, if the other side is not
|
|
0:28:10
|
meaning, they don't have the TFTP server set up,
|
|
0:28:15
|
it means that the router's process will fail,
|
|
0:28:18
|
and continue on to the normal operation
|
|
0:28:24
|
it says "Do you wanna terminate auto-install?"
|
|
0:28:27
|
Okay, that's what the router is talking about here
|
|
0:28:30
|
that it tried to get a configuration,
|
|
0:28:34
|
Okay, if you say yes, you'll see that it
|
|
0:28:38
|
depending on what particular
|
|
0:28:42
|
Now, for frame relay, the reason that this is
|
|
0:28:49
|
is that when the BOOTP requests fail,
|
|
0:28:53
|
the router maintains the Inverse ARP
|
|
0:28:59
|
To the address 0.0.0.0.
|
|
0:29:02
|
So, any time you look at the Show Frame Relay Map
|
|
0:29:05
|
and you see a mapping that goes to 0.0.0.0,
|
|
0:29:08
|
it means that the router tried to do the auto-install
|
|
0:29:16
|
The reason that this is an issue is that it's
|
|
0:29:21
|
So, if you have routers that are not supposed
|
|
0:29:26
|
but frame relay has resolved through Inverse
|
|
0:29:32
|
we'll see that we can exchange EIGRP updates,
|
|
0:29:39
|
and it's gonna screw up a bunch of things
|
|
0:29:44
|
So, the ends result of this is that if you get to the
|
|
0:29:50
|
and you see that the router
|
|
0:29:54
|
the very first thing you should do is
|
|
0:29:58
|
The reason why is that when the router
|
|
0:30:05
|
it stops the auto-install process.
|
|
0:30:09
|
The key is that when the router boots
|
|
0:30:12
|
then, it automatically start auto-install.
|
|
0:30:15
|
But once you save the config and
|
|
0:30:19
|
then it knows, "I already have a configuration,
|
|
0:30:23
|
Okay, there's no other way to
|
|
0:30:27
|
So, if you see it, that's the very
|
|
0:30:30
|
Otherwise, you're gonna have a
|
|
0:30:32
|
when you're trying to troubleshoot some
|
|
0:30:36
|
that's ultimately related to this
|
|
0:30:41
|
Now, the next variation that we have
|
|
0:30:46
|
this is the point-to-point sub-interface.
|
|
0:30:51
|
Again, the key with the
|
|
0:30:54
|
is that only one Layer 2 circuit
|
|
0:30:58
|
So, the router does not need to know what are
|
|
0:31:05
|
because no matter what packets
|
|
0:31:08
|
they're always gonna be using the
|
|
0:31:13
|
The only thing we need to do at
|
|
0:31:16
|
is issue the Frame Relay Interface DLCI
|
|
0:31:22
|
Now, we'll see that using the
|
|
0:31:25
|
this would be the preferred design
|
|
0:31:27
|
to fix Layer 3 or above issues that relate
|
|
0:31:36
|
So, if we were to run OSPF over frame relay,
|
|
0:31:40
|
the ideal design would be to use
|
|
0:31:45
|
and separate point-to-point subnets
|
|
0:31:51
|
Now, we'll see exactly why this
|
|
0:31:54
|
when we get into the details in the routing
|
|
0:31:59
|
Now, the different types of
|
|
0:32:02
|
again, we have the main interface, the multipoint
|
|
0:32:07
|
The Layer 3 to Layer 2 resolution
|
|
0:32:13
|
So, this means that no matter what
|
|
0:32:17
|
it's completely independent of
|
|
0:32:21
|
I can have a main interface and you
|
|
0:32:24
|
I can have a main interface you can
|
|
0:32:26
|
Okay, all of the combinations are supported.
|
|
0:32:28
|
As long as the Layer 3 to Layer 2
|
|
0:32:34
|
then, the frames are going to get encapsulated.
|
|
0:32:37
|
We'll look at the different show
|
|
0:32:40
|
from the frame relay process to figure out if there is
|
|
0:32:49
|
The next variation we'll look at configuration
|
|
0:32:57
|
Now, Partial Mesh basically means that
|
|
0:33:02
|
that do not have a full mesh of
|
|
0:33:08
|
So, in the case of Ethernet,
|
|
0:33:12
|
because any host can send a packet
|
|
0:33:18
|
just by using their Layer 2 address.
|
|
0:33:21
|
But with networks like frame relay and ATM,
|
|
0:33:24
|
unless the service provider has manually set up
|
|
0:33:29
|
you're not gonna be able to send
|
|
0:33:34
|
Now, you can send the packets indirectly
|
|
0:33:39
|
This is typical with the
|
|
0:33:43
|
Where we have one central site
|
|
0:33:44
|
that has Layer 2 circuits going to
|
|
0:33:48
|
Then, any of the spokes that wanna
|
|
0:33:51
|
the packets first needs to go into the
|
|
0:33:56
|
Now, the reason that this is an issue
|
|
0:33:59
|
is that the Layer 3 routing protocols and
|
|
0:34:04
|
have an issue understanding the difference
|
|
0:34:11
|
So, anytime that the Layer 3 subnet
|
|
0:34:14
|
does not map exactly one to one
|
|
0:34:19
|
we're gonna have design
|
|
0:34:24
|
One of these issues is related to
|
|
0:34:29
|
So, devices without a direct
|
|
0:34:33
|
cannot resolve each other with Inverse ARP.
|
|
0:34:37
|
So, when we're looking at the dynamic mappings,
|
|
0:34:40
|
if the routers don't have a PVC
|
|
0:34:44
|
they're not gonna be able to
|
|
0:34:47
|
So, Inverse ARP is a link local protocol.
|
|
0:34:51
|
I cannot receive a request in one circuit
|
|
0:34:53
|
and then forward it back out another circuit.
|
|
0:34:58
|
So, we'll see in an ideal world,
|
|
0:35:02
|
for any MBMA media type whether
|
|
0:35:08
|
we would always have an exact
|
|
0:35:14
|
to a point-to-point Layer 2 sub-interface.
|
|
0:35:18
|
So, this would then mean we don't need to
|
|
0:35:23
|
So, we wouldn't need the
|
|
0:35:26
|
or we wouldn't need the protocol
|
|
0:35:29
|
we would just assign the Layer 3 address
|
|
0:35:31
|
like the IPv4 address or the IPv6 address.
|
|
0:35:34
|
Assign the Layer 2 circuit number,
|
|
0:35:38
|
Then, the routing process would treat these
|
|
0:35:42
|
where two different circuits will have two
|
|
0:35:48
|
We'll see that there's certain
|
|
0:35:51
|
when a packet has to come in
|
|
0:35:56
|
Not just from a split horizon point of view,
|
|
0:35:58
|
but from an actual data plane point of view.
|
|
0:36:02
|
But again, we'll get into more details with this
|
|
0:36:05
|
But the overall point of this is
|
|
0:36:10
|
you would want point-to-point subnets that map
|
|
0:36:15
|
So, if I were to have a design where I had...
|
|
0:36:22
|
router 1,
|
|
0:36:23
|
router 2,
|
|
0:36:25
|
and router 3...
|
|
0:36:27
|
connected over frame relay.
|
|
0:36:30
|
Where router 1 is the hub, and
|
|
0:36:35
|
I would ideally want to configure on
|
|
0:36:42
|
We'll say, serial 0/0.1, serial 0/0.2.
|
|
0:36:46
|
Both of these are point-to-point.
|
|
0:36:49
|
Under there, we would have our IP address.
|
|
0:36:52
|
And we would have our
|
|
0:36:57
|
Same thing on router 3, we would have
|
|
0:37:00
|
with the IP address and the DLCI number.
|
|
0:37:04
|
Same thing on router 2.
|
|
0:37:09
|
So now, from a data place point of view,
|
|
0:37:13
|
if router 2 is trying to send packets to router 3,
|
|
0:37:16
|
they first have to be routed to router 1.
|
|
0:37:20
|
Then, routed back down to router 3.
|
|
0:37:24
|
We'll see in cases that router 2 and 3 think that
|
|
0:37:29
|
Based on the fact that they are
|
|
0:37:33
|
There's a bunch of control plane issues and data plane
|
|
0:37:39
|
Now, within the scope of the CCIE lab exam,
|
|
0:37:41
|
it's probably unlikely that they're gonna give
|
|
0:37:46
|
So, in the real world, you never have to deal
|
|
0:37:50
|
Just re-number the network so that your Layer 3
|
|
0:37:57
|
But you have a disconnect between
|
|
0:38:01
|
we're gonna have a bunch of design
|
|
0:38:05
|
So, we will talk about all of those
|
|
0:38:07
|
and see what are all the
|
|
0:38:10
|
but if you could fix it just by
|
|
0:38:13
|
you're gonna save yourself a lot
|
