Frame Relay現在越來越不流行了，不過在過去的設計中被廣泛應用。
所以工作上還是能經常見到的, 這篇博文從二層簡單總結下FR的一些概念
在介紹Frame Relay之前，先了解下廣播介質和非廣播介質的區別：
Broadcast Media （廣播介質）： Ethernet 、 Token-Ring、FDDI
特點：
- 源可以同時向所有連接（二層）目的地址通話
- 簡化了三層到二層的解析
Non-Broadcast Multi Access （NBMA）： Frame Relay、ISDN、ATM etc。
特點：
- 源不能同時和二層相連的所有目的地址通話
- 三層的廣播通過二層重複的單播實現 （pseudo-broadcast）
========三層到二層的地址解析對比=======
廣播介質的三層地址解析：遠程二層MAC地址和遠程三層地址綁定
- IPv4 Adress Resolution Protocol ( ARP)
- 廣播請求 - 誰知道1.1.1.1的MAC地址
- 單播回覆 - 我的MAC是abcd.abcd.abcd
廣播介質的三層地址解析：遠程或本地的二層MAC地址和遠程三層地址綁定
- 本地FR DLCI和遠程IPv4地址綁定
- 遠端ISDN電話和原電IPX地址綁定
- 反向ARP用解析遠程三層地址到本地二層地址
- 只有直接相連的設備可以進行解析
NBMA 端口類型：
多點接口 - 可連接多個二層鏈路 & 需要三層到二層的解析 (FR & ATM main interface)
單點接口 - 連接一個二層鏈路 & 不需要三層到二層解析 （PPP link, FR p2p subinterface)
======================================
1. FR 簡介
應用了NBMA - 也就意味着潛在存在三層到二層解析問題
DLCI - Data link Connection Identifier (數字鏈路識別碼）
- 二層尋址
- DLCI本地有效
LMI - Local Management Interface
- DTE or DCE 通訊
- 彙報虛擬鏈路的狀態
2. FR LMI 配置
開啓FR
- encapsulation frame-relay
LMI的類型 ( 自動偵測）
- frame-relay lmi-type 【cisco | ansi | q933a】
- show frame-relay lmi
驗證虛擬鏈接VC狀態
- show frame-relay pvc
狀態種類：
- active （E2E是好的，至少router 到 switch是ok的）
- inactive （中途出了問題）
- deleted （ 路由器試圖用一些參數但是FR交換機不支持，配置錯誤等）
- static （LMI is disabled，用於back to back FR)
3. FR 地址解析
- 多點端口需要三層到二層解析： 想要發包到IP a.b.c.d需要哪個DLCI ？
- 解析的種類
- 動態解析通過反向ARP請求 （inverse ARP）
- 靜態解析通過命令frame-relay map
- 驗證： sh frame-relay map
=======
FR inverse ARP
- 當配置了FR支持的協議，反向ARP自動開啓
- 請求會在端口配置的所有鏈路上發出
- 反向APR請求發送可以disable - no frame-relay inverse arp [protocol] [dlci]
- 回覆不能被disable （這是個潛在的問題）
- 自動包括了對廣播的支持
FR static Mapping
- 手動把本地的二層地址和遠程的三層地址綁定
- frame-relay map [protocol] [address] dlci [broadcast]
- 和靜態ARP的邏輯一樣
- 靜態配置會覆蓋動態配置
- 想支持廣播的話需要手動配置
========
路由器的Auto-install和Frame Relay可能引入問題：
- 如果在NVRAM裏沒有配置文件，路由器會偵測端口的封裝模式和發送地址請求
LAN - DHCP
HDLC - SLARP
FR - BOOTP
- 當地址配置過後，路由器就會試圖通過TFTP拿到配置
FR在這裏出現的問題在第四步：
- 偵測封裝
- 通過DLCI學習LMI
- 給所有DLCIs發送BOOTP
- 如果請求失敗了，會自動配置0.0.0.0 mapping
- 這可能破壞之後的路由配置
- 解決方法就是save config and reload
=================
最後要提的是點到點端口
- 一個端口對一條二層鏈路
- 不需要三層到二層的解析，只需要配置鏈路號 - frame-relay interface-dlci [dlci]
- 更傾向於點到點配置（可以避免三層以上配置問題）
================
思科官方文檔 - 基本配置
An interface is by default a "multipoint" interface so, frame-relay inverse-arp is on (for point-to-point, there is no Inverse ARP). IP split horizon checking is disabled by default for Frame Relay encapsulation, so routing updates come in and out the same interface. The routers learn the data-link connection identifiers (DLCIs) they need to use from the Frame Relay switch via LMI updates. The routers then Inverse ARP for the remote IP address and create a mapping of local DLCIs and their associated remote IP addresses.
