Simulating a Frame Relay Cloud

Problem

You want to use a router to simulate a Frame Relay cloud in the lab.

Solution

A Cisco router can function as a Frame Relay switch. This is mostly useful when you are trying to simulate a Frame Relay cloud in a lab to test your router configurations:

Cloud#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Cloud(config)#frame-relay switching
Cloud(config)#interface Serial0
Cloud(config-if)#description Frame-relay connection to Central - DLCI 50
