Chapter: SNA Frame Relay Access Support Commands


SNA Frame Relay Access Support Commands

This chapter describes the commands to configure Systems Network Architecture (SNA) Frame Relay Access Support (FRAS). For SNA FRAS configuration tasks and examples, refer to the "Configuring SNA Frame Relay Access Support" chapter of the Cisco IOS 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."

frame-relay map llc2

To configure BSTUN over Frame Relay when using Bisync local acknowledgment, use the frame-relay map llc2 interface configuration command. To cancel the configuration, use the no form of this command.

frame-relay map llc2 dlci

no frame-relay map llc2 dlci

Syntax Description

dlci

Frame Relay DLCI number on which to support local acknowledgment.


Defaults

No default behavior or values.
