Configure Remote Site Profile for Frame Relay
Each of the PVC’s on the frame relay service must be configured within an individual
remote site profile on the router. This is usually done automatically through the auto-
learning process. When the frame relay router first starts up it will query the frame relay
service to try to determine the PVC configurations. If the DLCI numbers of the PVC’s
on your service are determined during startup, the router will automatically create a
remote site profile for each PVC. The automatically created remote site profiles will be
named “LinkxDLCIyyy” where x is the physical link number the PVC is on and yyy is the
DLCI of the PVC.
If during this learning process the maximum number of remote sites has been
reached, the router will prompt you that there are no remote sites available. A new
remote site cannot be auto-created unless one of the existing remote sites is
manually deleted.
These automatically created remote site profiles may be renamed for easier identification
or usage by changing the Remote Site Alias.

Note authentication, after the router has automatically created remote site
profiles for each of the PVC’s, either the remote site profile alias must be
changed to match the Outgoing User Name configured on the remote site
router or vice versa. If the local remote site alias and the remote site routers
outgoing user name do not match, the PVC will always fail with a security
violation. Also note that PPP encapsulation must be enabled to run security
access authentication.
With auto-learning, the above is all that is required of the user to set-up frame relay
remote site profiles. If desired, parameters may be entered manually as follows:
Each PVC defined on this router must have a DLCI (Data Link Connection Identifier)
value assigned for proper frame relay communication.
