SNA Frame Relay Access Support Commands

---

This chapter describes the commands to configure Systems Network Architecture (SNA) Frame Relay access support. For SNA Frame Relay access support configuration tasks and examples, refer to the "Configuring SNA Frame Relay Access Support" chapter of the Bridging and IBM Networking Configuration Guide.

---

Note   Because Frame Relay does not provide the reliable transport required by SNA, the RFC 1490 support of SNA uses Logical Link Control, type 2 (LLC2) as part of the encapsulation to provide link-level sequencing, acknowledgment, and flow control. The serial interface configured for Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) encapsulation (RFC 1490) accepts all LLC2 interface configuration commands. For more information about LLC2 interface configuration commands, refer to the "LLC2 and SDLC Commands" chapter of this publication.

fras ban

Use the fras ban interface configuration command to associate bridging over a Frame Relay network using boundary access node (BAN). Use the no form of this command to cancel each association.

fras ban local-ring bridge-number ring-group ban-dlci-mac dlci dlci#1 [dlci#2 ... dlci#5]
[bni mac-addr]
no fras ban local-ring bridge-number ring-group ban-dlci-mac dlci dlci#1 [dlci#2 ... dlci#5]

local-ring	Decimal number from 1 to 4095 describing the Token Ring interface.
bridge-number	Decimal number from 1 to 15 that uniquely identifies a bridge connecting two rings.
ring-group	Decimal number from 1 to 4095 representing a collection of Token Ring interfaces on one or more routers.
ban-dlci-mac	Frame Relay BAN PVC MAC address.
dlci#1 [dlci#2 ... dlci#5]	Frame Relay data-link connection identifier. Each DLCI number is unique and is a decimal within the range of 16 to 1007. The keyword dlci precedes the list of one or more DLCI numbers. If more than one DLCI number is needed for load balancing in the FRAS BAN configuration command, a maximum of five DLCI numbers are allowed.
bni mac-addr	(Optional) Boundary node identifier (BNI) MAC address of the NCP that receives frames from the router.

Multipule fras ban commands may be configured; however, each fras ban command must use a unique DLCI MAC address.

You must configure the source-bridge ring-group global configuration command prior to the fras ban command.

Example

The following configuration shows FRAS BAN support for Token Ring and serial interfaces:

source-bridge ring-group 200

!

interface serial 0

 mtu 4000

 encapsulation frame-relay ietf

 frame-relay lmi-type ansi

 frame-relay map llc2  16

Field	Description
Type	Connection type. The display example shows Token Ring and Frame Relay.
Destination	Destination MAC address from the perspective of the Cisco IOS software.
Int	Interface that the connection resides on.
LSap	Local SAP value.
RSap	Remote SAP value.
Role	Local link station role; P means Primary, S means Secondary.
State	Link station protocol machine state. This value may be one of the following states:      ls_reset      ls_RqOpnStnSent      ls_ExchgXid      ls_ConnRqSent      ls_SigStnWait      ls_ConnRspWait      ls_ConnRspSent      ls_Contacted      ls_DiscWait
