Transparent Bridging over Frame Relay


Scenario

Your work for a large ISP that still has some old frame-relay equipment. One of your customers wants their sites to be directly connected. Since you know frame relay pretty wel you know you can setup some bridging.

Goal:

  • All IP addresses have been preconfigured for you.
  • Enable frame relay encapsulation on the serial0/0 interfaces of router Compact and Decrease.
  • Configure a bridge group on router Compact and Decrease, use IEEE. Apply the bridge group to the serial0/0 interfaces.
  • Ensure router Jack and Emma can ping each other and that they have multicast and broadcast capabilities.

  1. Hello Rene. I’d like to say thank you for the initiative. It’s really useful.

    The startup and final files are the same for “frame-relay-inverse-arp-startup-configs and transparent-bridging-over-fr-startup-configs”.
