340 Chapter 8: Extending the Network into the WAN
Verifying Frame Relay
The show interfaces command displays information regarding the encapsulation and
Layer 1 and Layer 2 status. Verify that the encapsulation is set to Frame Relay.
The command also displays information about the LMI type and the LMI DLCI. The LMI
DLCI is not the DLCI that identi?¬?es the PVC across which data is passed. That DLCI is
shown in the show frame-relay pvc command.
The output also displays the Frame Relay DTE or DCE type. Normally, the router will be
the DTE. However, a Cisco router can be con?¬?gured as the Frame Relay switch; in this case,
the type will be DCE. Example 8-3 shows the output from this command.
Use the show frame-relay lmi command to display LMI traf?¬?c statistics. For example, this
command shows the number of status messages exchanged between the local router and the
local Frame Relay switch. Example 8-4 shows the output of this command.
NOTE If you de?¬?ned a subinterface for point-to-point communication, you cannot
reassign the same subinterface number to use for multipoint communication without ?¬?rst
rebooting the router.
