GNS3 - How to build a frame-relay lab
Posted by Josh under Cisco , Cisco Routers , Dynamips , GNS3 -
In this tutorial, you will learn how to build a small frame-relay lab. I will walk you through adding the routers, the frame switch, configuring the PVCs on the switch, and configuring the routers for basic point-to-point connectivity.

This should give you a good basis for testing various QOS configurations, routing protocols as well as other frame-relay configs.

Another fine job, Josh.

Great job. It was really helped me to understand point-to-point frame relay. Do you think to make another video for multipoint frame relay ?

Nice job. Like the partial mesh used in the frame relay switch.

well job supper

Well Done! Thank you

@Taner, I doubt I will get to a multipoint frame-relay tutorial in the near future. I have other things I would like to demonstrate more. You should be able to take the principles learned in this tutorial to build a partial mesh or full mesh.
@Everyone Else, Than you and you are welcome.

@Josh, Your tutorial was great indeed.. thank you for sharing this… by the way can you help me figuring out my problem with my GNS3..
I follow the instruction in your tutorial, it was amazing.. though after configuring the routers then saving my topology.. when I exit the GNS3 then re-open it again.. all the configuration I made to the router was erased… is this the behaviour of the application?
Thank you in advance…

good job! its very useful…

Great, fantastic, excellent and I’m deeply indebted.
Wasnik, you have to issue the write command or the copy running-config startup-config to keep the router configuration from session to session, just like a real router.

Here you will find some labs using the same topology that helped me to understand IARP,p2p and multipoint interfaces behaviour.

Thanks alot mate
You are a star

I need to know how to configure the ATM switch.

I am configuting point to multi point but its not working.

Nice
Thanks for this tutorial - that was exactly what I’ve been looking for.
Kind regards from Germany…
