Configuring SNA Frame Relay Access Support


This chapter describes Frame Relay Access Support (FRAS) for Systems Network Architecture (SNA) devices. It also explains how to configure FRAS and how to use a FRAS host to connect Cisco Frame Relay Access Devices (FRADs) to channel-attached mainframes, LAN-attached FEPs, and LAN-attached AS/400s through a Cisco router.

For a complete description of the FRAS commands in this chapter, refer to the "SNA Frame Relay Access Support Commands" chapter of the Bridging and IBM Networking Command Reference. To locate documentation of specific commands, use the command reference master index or search online.

SNA FRAS Configuration Task List

To configure FRAS, perform the tasks described in the following sections:

Configure FRAS BNN Statically

Configure FRAS BNN Dynamically

Configure FRAS Boundary Access Node Support

Configure SRB over Frame Relay

Configure FRAS Congestion Management

Configure FRAS DLCI Backup

Configure Frame Relay RSRB Dial Backup

Configure Frame Relay DLSw+ Dial Backup

Monitor and Maintain FRAS

To configure the FRAS host, see the section "Configure FRAS Host." For configuration examples, see the section "FRAS and FRAS Host Configuration Examples" at the end of this chapter.

Configure FRAS BNN Statically

To configure FRAS (boundary network node) BNN statically, use one of the following commands in interface configuration mode:

Command
Purpose

fras map llc mac-address lan-lsap lan-rsap serial port frame-relay dlci fr-lsap fr-rsap [pfid2 | afid2 | fid4]

Associate an LLC connection with a Frame Relay DLCI.

fras map sdlc sdlc-address serial port frame-relay dlci fr-lsap fr-rsap [pfid2 | afid2 | fid4]

Associate an SDLC link with a Frame Relay DLCI.


In this implementation, you configure and define each end station MAC and SAP address pair statically.

Because Frame Relay itself does not provide a reliable transport as required by SNA, the RFC 1490 support of SNA uses 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 (that is, RFC 1490) accepts all LLC2 interface configuration commands.

Configure FRAS BNN Dynamically

To configure FRAS BNN dynamically, use one of the following commands in interface configuration mode:

Command
Purpose

fras map llc lan-lsap serial interface frame-relay dlci dlci fr-rsap

Associate an LLC connection with a Frame Relay DLCI.

fras map sdlc sdlc-address serial port frame-relay dlci fr-lsap fr-rsap [pfid2 | afid2 | fid4]

Associate an SDLC link with a Frame Relay DLCI.


When you associate an LLC connection with a Frame Relay DLCI, the router "learns" the MAC/SAP information as it forwards packets to the host. The FRAS BNN feature provides seamless processing at the router regardless of end station changes. End stations can be added or deleted without reconfiguring the router.

When you associate an SDLC link with a Frame Relay DLCI, you configure and define each end station MAC and SAP address pair statically.

Because Frame Relay itself does not provide a reliable transport as required by SNA, the RFC 1490 support of SNA uses 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 (that is, RFC 1490) can take all LLC2 interface configuration commands.

Configure FRAS Boundary Access Node Support

To configure Frame Relay boundary access node (BAN), use the following command in interface configuration mode:

Command
Purpose

fras ban local-ring bridge-number ring-group ban-dlci-mac dlci dlci#1 [dlci#2 . . . dlci#5] [bni mac-addr]

Associate a bridge to the Frame Relay BAN.


BAN simplifies router configuration when multiple LLC sessions are multiplexed over the same DLCI. By comparison, SAP multiplexing requires static definitions and maintenance overhead. By using BAN, the Token Ring MAC address is included in every frame to uniquely identify the LLC session. Downstream devices can be dynamically added and deleted with no configuration changes required on the router.

Configure SRB over Frame Relay

To configure SRB over Frame Relay, use the following commands in interface configuration mode:

Step
Command
Purpose

1

interface serial number

Specify the serial port.

2

encapsulation frame-relay

Enable Frame Relay encapsulation.

3

interface serial slot/port.subinterface-number point-to-point

Configure a Frame Relay point-to-point subinterface.

4

frame-relay interface-dlci dlci ietf

Configure a DLCI number for the point-to-point subinterface.

5

source-bridge source-ring-number bridge-number target-ring-number conserve-ring

Assign a ring number to the Frame Relay permanent virtual circuit.


Cisco IOS software offers the ability to encapsulate source-route bridging traffic using RFC 1490 Bridged 802.5 encapsulation. This provides SRB over Frame Relay functionality. This SRB over Frame Relay feature is interoperable with other vendors' implementations of SRB over Frame Relay and with some vendors' implementations of FRAS BAN.

SRB over Frame Relay does not support the following Cisco IOS software functions:

Proxy explorer

Automatic spanning tree

LAN Network Manager

Configure FRAS Congestion Management

FRAS provides a congestion control mechanism based on the interaction between congestion notification bits in the Frame Relay packet and the dynamic adjustment of the LLC2 send window. This window shows the number of frames the Cisco IOS software can send before waiting for an acknowledgment. The window size decreases with the occurrence of backward explicit congestion notification (BECN) and increases when no BECN frames are received.

To configure congestion management, use the following commands in interface configuration mode:

Step
Command
Purpose

1

llc2 local-window packet-count

Specify the maximum window size for each logical connection.

2

llc2 dynwind [nw nw-number] [dwc dwc-number]

Enable the dynamic window flow-control mechanism.


You can enable the dynamic window mechanism only if you are using Frame Relay IETF encapsulation.

Configure FRAS DLCI Backup

To configure FRAS DLCI backup, use the following command in interface configuration mode:

Command
Purpose

fras ddr-backup interface interface dlci-number

Specify an interface to be used for the backup connection and indicate the DLCI number of the session.


FRAS DLCI backup is an enhancement to Cisco's FRAS implementation that lets you configure a secondary path to the host to be used when the Frame Relay network becomes unavailable. When the primary Frame Relay link to the Frame Relay WAN fails, the FRAS DLCI backup feature causes the router to reroute all sessions from the main Frame Relay interface to the secondary interface. The secondary interface can be either serial or ISDN and must have a data link connection identifier (DLCI) configured.

illustrates Frame Relay backup over an ISDN connection.

Figure 135 FRAS DLCI Backup over ISDN


Note   This feature provides backup for the local end of the Frame Relay connection, not the complete end-to-end connection.


Configure Frame Relay RSRB Dial Backup

When the Frame Relay network is down, the Cisco IOS software checks whether the dial backup feature is configured for the particular DLCI number. If it is configured, the software removes the FRAS to the downstream device connection and establishes the RSRB to this downstream device connection.

To configure RSRB dial backup, use the following command in interface configuration mode:

Command
Purpose

fras backup rsrb vmacaddr local-ring-number target-ring-number host-mac-address

Activate Frame Relay RSRB dial backup.


Configure Frame Relay DLSw+ Dial Backup

The FRAS dial backup over DLSw+ feature provides a secondary path that is used when the Frame Relay network becomes unavailable. If preconfigured properly, when the primary link to the Frame Relay WAN fails, FRAS dial backup over DLSw+ feature moves existing sessions to the alternate link automatically. When the primary link is restored, existing sessions are kept on the backup connection so they can be moved non-disruptively to the primary link at the user's discretion.

To enable FRAS dial backup over DLSw+, use the following command in interface configuration mode:

Command
Purpose

fras backup dlsw virtual-mac-address target-ring-number host-mac-address [retry number]

Configure an auxiliary (backup) route between the end stations and the host for use when the DLCI connection to the Frame Relay network is lost.

Monitor and Maintain FRAS

To display information about the state of FRAS, use the following command in privileged EXEC mode:

Command
Purpose

show fras

Display the mapping and connection state of the FRAS.


Configure FRAS Host

The FRAS Host provides a scalable and efficient solution for SNA FRAD access to channel-attached hosts and to LAN-attached hosts. The FRAS Host function operates in two modes, which are documented in the following sections:

FRAS Host LLC2 Passthru—In this mode, the LLC2 sessions are not locally terminated in the router's LLC2 stack. This is the recommended solution if your scenario includes a Channel Interface Processor (CIP) interface to the mainframe.

FRAS Host LLC2 Local Termination—In this mode, the LLC2 sessions are locally terminated in the router's LLC2 stack. This is the recommended solution if either of the following is true:

Your scenario includes a LAN-attached AS/400 or mainframe

Your scenario includes conversion from RFC1490 encapsulation to DLSw+ encapsulation

FRAS Host LLC2 Passthru

The FRAS Host LLC passsthru feature combines with a CIP-attached Cisco router's high-speed channel access to provide FEP-class performance at a fraction of what it would cost to achieve similar functionality using a FEP. If the CIP SNA feature is used to interface with the mainframe, then FRAS Host LLC2 passthru mode is the recommended solution. In this topology the LLC2 passthru solution to the CIP-SNA LLC2 stack provides better performance, is more robust, and responds well to different types of congestion.

To prevent LLC2 session timeout, LLC2 characteristics (windows and timers) may be tuned on the CIP internal LAN adapter. The CIP/SNA LLC2 stack reacts to congestion by dynamically adjusting its LLC2 transmit window for that LLC2 session in response to dropped frames.

With the FRAS Host LLC passthru feature, you gain performance benefits of a channel attachment without FEP upgrades such as the addition of a Frame Relay interface, an upgrade to NCP (with its associated increase in monthly charges), and a possible increase in system memory.

illustrates Cisco FRAD access to a mainframe through a channel-attached Cisco router.

Figure 138 Cisco FRAD Access to a Mainframe through a Cisco 7500

FRAS Host LLC2 Local Termination

If the FRAS Host feature is used to allow remote FRADs to communicate with a LAN-attached IBM 3745 or AS/400, then LLC2 termination via DLSw+ local switching is the recommended solution. With this approach, the LLC2 sessions are terminated at the Route Processor. To prevent LLC2 session timeout, LLC2 characteristics (windows and timers) may be tuned on the virtual Token Ring interface. If the dynamic window algorithm is enabled on the virtual Token Ring interface, LLC2 local termination will react to congestion by dynamically adjusting its LLC2 transmit window in response to occurrence of Frame Relay BECN.

When you use the FRAS Host LLC2 local termination feature on a Token Ring-attached FEP, the FRAS Host Cisco router shields the FEP from having to manage the interface to the Frame Relay network. This avoids interface, memory, and NCP upgrades. The FRAS Host Cisco router simply provides LLC2 sessions to the FEP over the LAN.

If used in an environment with AS/400s, FRAS Host LLC2 local termination provides an even more valuable function. The Cisco FRAS Host router offloads the management of the Frame Relay connections from the AS/400. This reduces AS/400 system hardware requirements and frees AS/400 CPU cycles for user applications.

illustrates Cisco FRAD access to a LAN-attached SNA host through a Cisco router.

Figure 139 Cisco FRAD Access to a LAN-Attached AS/400 through a Cisco 4500

Congestion Management

Both passthru and local acknowledgment environments support frame discard eligibility (DE) for additional congestion management. In both environments, you can further tune the interface to the Frame Relay network by taking advantage of the Cisco IOS Frame Relay features. Taken together, these features increase overall throughput dramatically by comparison to generic FRADs, which typically cannot use the network with the same degree of efficiency.

FRAS BNN Topology Example

FRAS BNN transports SNA traffic across different media through a Cisco router and then through a Frame Relay link to the host. SNA PU 2.0 and PU 2.1 devices may be attached to the remote router through Token Ring, SDLC, or Ethernet to access the Frame Relay network. The FRAS BNN topology is illustrated in .

Figure 142 FRAS BNN Topology

The original Frame Relay BNN feature transports traffic from multiple PUs over a single DLCI. This function is called SAP multiplexing. The router uses a unique SAP address (fr-lsap) for each downstream PU when communicating with the host. In this implementation, each end station's MAC/SAP address pair must be statically defined to the router. Consequently, the router must be re-configured each time an end station is moved, added, or deleted. The configuration overhead for this implementation can be high.

The FRAS BNN feature, where the router "learns" the MAC/SAP information as it forwards packets to the host, offers several advantages over the original FRAS BNN implementation. The BNN enhancement alleviates the need to reconfigure the router when end stations are moved, added, or deleted. The configuration is simple: one map definition in the router is sufficient for multiple downstream devices. The router "learns" the addresses of the downstream devices in the normal course of communication (as shown in ).

illustrates the Frame Relay BNN configuration for both the original implementation and the enhanced implementation.

Figure 143 Frame Relay BNN Support

If the end station initiates the LLC session, the router acquires the Token Ring address and the SAP value of the end station from the incoming frame. Instead of mapping the end station's MAC/SAP address pair (as was done in the original FRAS BNN implementation), the destination MAC/SAP address pair of the incoming frame is mapped to the Frame Relay DLCI. If the destination SAP specified by the end station is equal to the lan-lsap address, the router associates the LLC (LAN) connection with the Frame Relay DLCI. The MAC address and the SAP address of the end station are no longer required in the router configuration. Thus, in the enhanced FRAS BNN implementation one configuration command achieves the same result for the end stations as did multiple configuration commands in the original FRAS BNN implementation.


Note   The new FRAS BNN feature, which provides seamless processing at the router regardless of end-station changes, is designed to coexist with the original FRAS BNN feature. In Cisco IOS Release 11.2, only LLC2 traffic will be supported. SDLC must be configured using the original BNN implementation

The following configuration example enables the FRAS BNN feature. The topology is illustrated in .

You must specify the source-bridge ring-group global command before you configure the fras ban interface command. When Token Ring is configured, the source-bridge interface command includes the local-ring, bridge-number, and the target-ring values. The source-bridge command enables local source-route bridging on a Token Ring interface.

SRB over Frame Relay Example

illustrates the interoperability provided by SRB over Frame Relay. FRADs B and C forward frames from their locally attached Token Rings over the Frame Relay network using SRB.

Figure 145 FRAD Using SRB over Frame Relay to Connect to a Cisco Router

illustrates a network with the following characteristics:

Virtual ring number of Router A = 100

Virtual ring number of FRAD B = 200

Virtual ring number of FRAD C = 300

DLCI number for the partner's virtual ring (PVC) between Router A and FRAD B = 30

DLCI number for PVC between Router A and FRAD C = 31

In this example we configure a new option, conserve-ring, on the source-bridge interface configuration command. When this option is configured, the SRB software does not add the ring number associated with the Frame Relay PVC to outbound explorer frames. This option is permitted for Frame Relay subinterfaces only.

The router configures the partner FRAD's virtual ring number as the ring number for the PVC.

This approach does not require a separate ring number per DLCI. The router configures the partner FRAD's virtual ring number as the ring number for the PVC.

FRAD B configures its virtual ring as 200 and the ring for the PVC as 100. FRAD C configures its virtual ring as 300 and the ring for the PVC as 100.
