frame relay

Hi all, I have 4 frame relay circuits terminating over my serial connection, can anyone tell me what the max speed is of a frame relay connection? as I believe the serial is only capable of handling 2mbps max, and surely this means if I have multiple frame relay circuits, they would never reach there max speed from the isp??

Hi,

The physical interface gives you a max of 2M, you'll have to share this bandwidth over the 4 FR PVCs.

HTH,

Mohammed Mahmoud.

what about if I had an e1 interface? what other interfaces would be good for this? can you have frame relay over ethernet ?

Hi,

No you are always bound to the physical interface speed, and the Ethernet interface doesn't support FR encapsulation, if you require more speed use more serial interfaces.

HTH,

Mohammed Mahmoud.

Do you have 4 different physical connections? or one single physical connection with 4 pvcs? There are modules which support more than 2mbps. NM-1HSSI can support upto 52Mbps and

NM-4T can support upto 8Mbps if other 3 ports are not used.Checkout these modules.
