Q

What is a PVC?

A

permanent virtual circuit, for frame-relay

52
Q

What is an SVC?

A

switched virtual circuit, for frame-relay but most commonly used in X.25 circuits.

53
Q

What is a DLCI?

A

The DLCI contains a 10-bit number in the address field of the Frame Relay frame header that identifies the VC. DLCIs have only local significance because the identifier references the point between the local router and the local Frame Relay switch to which the DLCI is connected

54

What is the frame relay CIR?

A

committed information rate

specifies the maximum average data rate that the network undertakes to deliver under normal conditions.

55
Q

What is inverse ARP?

A

used in frame relay to discover the network address of the remote DTE from the DLCI. maps DLCI to IP

56
Q

what is LMI in frame relay?

A

Local Management Interface. Set of enhancements to the basic Frame Relay specification. LMI includes support for a keepalive mechanism, which verifies that data is flowing; a multicast mechanism, which provides the network server with its local DLCI and the multicast DLCI; global addressing, which gives DLCIs global rather than local significance in Frame Relay networks; and a status mechanism, which provides an on-going status report on the DLCIs known to the switch. Known as LMT in ANSI terminology.

57
Q

formula to calculate the number of PVCs needed for a full mesh frame relay topology

A

The formula n x (n - 1) / 2 describes how to calculate the total number of links that are required to achieve a full-mesh topology, where n is the number of nodes. In a small network of 4 nodes, only 6 PVCs are required: 4 x (4 - 1) / 2 = 6.

58
Q

How to prevent spoke routers from becoming OSPF BDR over frame relay

A

configure the interface facing the hub with a priority of 0

59
Q

How to configure hub router interface to avoid split horizon issues?

A

use multiple point to point subinterfaces

60
Q

what number assignments are possible for DLCIs?

A

DLCI numbers 0 (zero) and 1023 are reserved for management.
DLCI numbers 1 to 15 and 1008 to 1022 are reserved for future use.
DLCI numbers 992 to 1007 are reserved for Layer 2 management of Frame Relay bearer service.
DLCI numbers 16 to 991 are assigned to customer endpoints in a Frame Relay network.

61
Q

what are the 3 LMI types?

A

Cisco
ANSI
Q.933A

62
Q

what are the 3 possible frame-relay VC statuses?

A

Active: Indicates that the VC connection is active and that routers can exchange data over the Frame Relay network
Inactive: Indicates that the local connection to the Frame Relay switch is working, but the remote router connection to the remote Frame Relay switch is not working
Deleted: Indicates that either no LMI is being received from the Frame Relay switch, or there is no service between the router and the local Frame Relay switch
