Frame Relay Issues, plus some misc. questions.

First, let me say thanks to anyone who is going to help.

Alright, to the nitty-gritty, I have two 56k routers w/56 CSU/DSU cards in them connected back to back with a rollover cable. I don't believe the rollover plays a roll in this problem, becuase I have CD lights on both the routers.

I am new to dealing with routers, but the goal I'm trying to achieve is to link two stores with frame. I believe most of my configuration is correct, but I cannot get the line protocols to come up on the frame. Below should be most or all of the information you need. One last thing -- as I said, I'm new so if you guys see something that may not necessarily be applicable to my problem, I'd appreciate it if you brought it to my attention.

MY OTHER QUESTIONS

------------------

What is causing these annoying errors and how can I fix them?

%Error opening tftp://255.255.255.255/cisconet.cfg (Timed out)

%Error opening tftp://255.255.255.255/kittanning-confg (Timed out)

%Error opening tftp://255.255.255.255/kittanni.cfg (Timed out)

Also, the address I supply to the Frame sub interface is just for connection between the two routers, correct? And the same thing for the DLCI, I don't understand why I need another IP address for that.

The routing I'm trying to set up is just one network address. 192.163.123.0. Can both stores be on the same network address? Or do I need something like this: Store 1 - 192.163.123.xxx, Store 2 - 192.163.124.xxx.

Well thanks again for the help, I know it's alot of questions, I just hope someone can help me some =)

First: "no service config" will stop the errors.

2nd: I think you'll have a tough time with frame-relay back to back over 56K internal CSU/DSUs. The key is to enable "frame-relay switching" in global config on the router that is supplying clocking, and then "frame-relay intf-type dce" on the main serial interface (not the sub-if).

The problem is, I don't know if a WIC 56K CSU/DSU will accept that last command, but give it a shot.

3rd: You'll have to set up both stores on seperate IP addresses unless you plan on bridging rather than routing. I suggest stronly that you route.

The IP addresses for the sub-ifs can be "ip unnumbered ethernet0" to save IP space.

Mick.

What he said and, Frame switching requires at least a plus level IOS.
