How to configure Frame Relay on Cisco a Router.

The figure below shows the basic Frame Relay configuration on a Cisco router, connected directly to a dedicated Frame Relay switch, or DCE.
All router interface had been configured with IP addresses and routing protocol - RIPv2.
 
How to Configure Frame Relay
 
R1
R1#config t
R1(config)#interface serial 0/0/0
R1(config-if)#encapsulation frame-relay
R1(config-if)#frame-relay lmi-type ansi
R1(config-if)#frame-relay map ip 10.1.2.2 102 broadcast
R1(config-if)#no shutdown
R2
R2#config t
R2(config)#interface serial 0/0/1
R2(config-if)#encapsulation frame-relay
R2(config-if)#frame-relay lmi-type ansi
R2(config-if)#frame-relay map ip 10.1.2.1 201 broadcast
R(config-if)#no shutdown

How To Configure Frame Relay with Subinterfaces 

 
In the topology above, the frame from R1 use DLCI value 102. It leaves the router (R1) using VC 102. This process of VC-port mapping continues through the WAN until the frame reaches its destination at (R2 with value) DLCI 201, From R2, the frame use DLCI value 201 to identify its network VC to R1.The DLCI is stored in the address field of every frame transmitted.
 
The LMI( Local Management Identifier) acts like a keepalive mechanism that provides status information about Frame Relay connections between the router (DTE) and the Frame Relay switch (DCE). 
The Broadcast Keyword is used because Frame Relay, ATM, and X.25 are non-broadcast multiple access (NBMA) networks, Because NBMA does not support broadcast traffic, using the broadcast keyword is a way to forward routing updates by RIP, EIGRP and OSPF.

Linux lvm - Logical Volume Manager 1. This is what we are going to do This article describes a basic logic behind a Linux logical volume manager by showing real examples of configuration and usage. Although Debian Linux will be used for this tutorial, you can also apply the same command line syntax with other Linux distributions such as Red Hat, Mandriva, SuSe Linux and others. 2. Create Partitions For this Linux lvm example you need an unpartitioned hard disk /dev/sdb. First you need to create physical volumes. To do this you need partitions or a whole disk. It is possible to run pvcreate command on /dev/sdb, but I prefer to use partitions and from partitions I later create physical volumes. Use your preferred partitioning tool to create partitions. In this example I have used cfdisk. Partitions are ready to use. 3. Create physical volumes Use the pvcreate command to create physical volumes. # pvcreate /dev/sdb1 # pvcreate /dev/sdb2 The pvdi...

Resolving Blue Screen errors in Windows Blue Screen errors (also sometimes called black screen errors or STOP code errors) can occur if a serious problem causes Windows to shut down or restart unexpectedly. You might see a message that says, "Windows  has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer." These errors can be caused by both hardware and software problems. If you added new hardware to your PC before the Blue Screen error, shut down your PC, remove the hardware, and try restarting. If you're having  trouble restarting, you can start (boot) your PC in safe mode. For more info, see  Windows Startup Settings (including safe mode) . You can also try the following: Get all the latest updates with Windows Update. Get help from other sources. Try restoring Windows back to an earlier point in time. Read through  Resolving stop (blue screen) errors in Windows 7  for troubleshooting tips that might be  helpful, even if you’re not ru...
