Auto Learning the Frame Relay Configuration
The router is pre-configured to query the frame relay service to auto-
learn the LMI type and the PVC DLCI numbers. This auto-learn
function allows the router to be plugged into the frame relay service
and auto-learn the PVC configuration to become operational without
further manual configuration.
Manual configuration is also allowed by modifying the options within
each Remote Site Profile and the individual link configuration menus.
When the router first starts up it will query the frame relay service to
try to determine the LMI type. Once the LMI type is determined, the
PVC configurations will be known from the full status enquiry
messages. If the DLCI numbers of the PVC’s on your service are
determined during this learning process, 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 (40)
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.
