Manual Lab # 14
What is DLCI?
A data link connection identifier (DLCI) is a Frame Relay 10-bit-wide link-local virtual circuit
identifier used to assign frames to a specific PVC or SVC. Frame Relay networks use DLCIs to
statistically multiplex frames. DLCIs are preloaded into each switch and act as road signs to the
traveling frames.
Scenario to Implement:
Step 01:
Take devices as shown in above diagram, PCs, Switches, Router 2811 series (Add Serial interfaces
to all routers Router1-Router 4 by going to physical view power off router add WIC-
2T (Serial Port, which has P2 P encapsulation feature required for frame relay)
Make cable connections, Set Clock rate (DCE) side from Cloud to Router in all serial links.
Assign static IP’s, Subnet Mask and Default gateways to all PCs as mentioned in above topology.

Step 02:
In all routers CLI assign IP address to relevant ethernet interfaces, changing Router’s names to Router1,
Router2, Router3 and Router4. Like R1 router configuration will be as follows: ( Do the same for Router2,
Router3, and Router4)
Router> enable
Router # config terminal
Router (Config)# hostname Router1
Router1(Config)# interface fastethernet 0/0
Router1(Config-if # ip address 10.0.0.10 255.0.0.0
Router1(Config-if)# no shutdown
Router1(Config-if)# Ctrl+Z
Router1# write
Building configurations…
[OK]
Step 03:
On Router R1: for Assigning IP address to Serial sub interface 0/3/0
Router1(config)#interface serial 0/3/0
Router1(config-if)#encapsulation frame-relay
Router1(config-if)#no shutdown
Router1(config-if)#
%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Serial0/3/0, changed state to up
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Serial0/3/0, changed state to up
Router1(config-if)#exit
Router1(config)#interface serial 0/3/0.101 point-to-point
Router1(config-subif)#
%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Serial0/3/0.101, changed state to up
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Serial0/3/0.101, changed state to up
Router1#write
Building configuration...
[OK]
Router R2:
Router2(config)#interface serial 0/3/0 R
Router 2(config-if)#encapsulation frame-relay

Lab Manual/ CN-5th/ BSSE/ SE Dept./ UMT Lahore
Router2(config-if)#no shutdown
Router2(config-if)#
%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Serial0/3/0, changed state to up
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Serial0/3/0, changed state to up
Router2(config-if)#exit
Router2(config)#
Router2(config)#interface serial 0/3/0.101 point-to-point
Router2(config-subif)#
Router2#write
Building configuration...
[OK]
Router R3:
Router3#config terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router3(config)#interface serial 0/3/0
Router3(config-if)#encapsulation frame-relay
Router3(config-if)#no shutdown
Router3(config-if)#
Router3(config-if)#exit
Router3(config)#interface serial 0/3/0.101 point-to-point
Router3(config-subif)#
Router3#write

Router4>enable
Router4#config terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router4(config)#interface serial 0/3/0
Router4(config-if)#encapsulation frame-relay
Router4(config-if)#no shutdown
Router4(config-if)#exit
Router4(config)#interface serial 0/3/0.102 point-to-point
Router4(config-subif)#
%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Serial0/3/0.102, changed state to up
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Serial0/3/0.102, changed state to up

Router4#write
Building configuration... [OK]
Step 04: Configuring Cloud:
Left click on Cloud Icon got to config tab Select Serial 0 from 3rd list:
And give DLCI as in figure:
For Serial 0:
For Serial 1:

For Serial 2:
For Serial 3:

Step 06: Configuring IP Routes on All Routers Router 1, Router 2, Router 3 and Router 4:
Go to Router 1:
Router1>enable
Router1#config terminal
Router1(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 50.0.0.2
//data from any IP any Subnet Mask will go through 50.0.0.2
Router1(config)# Ctrl + Z
Router1 # write
Go to Router 2:
Router2>enable
Router2#config terminal
Router2(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 60.0.0.2
Router2(config)# Ctrl + Z
Router2 # write
Go to Router 3:
Router3>enable
Router3#config terminal
Router3(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 70.0.0.2
Router3(config)# Ctrl + Z
Router3 # write
Go to Router 4:

Lab Manual/ CN-5th/ BSSE/ SE Dept./ UMT Lahore
Router4>enable
Router4#config terminal
Router4(config)#ip route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 50.0.0.1
Router4(config)#ip route 20.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 60.0.0.1
Router4(config)#ip route 30.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 70.0.0.1
Router4(config)# Ctrl + Z
Router4#write
Building configuration...
[OK]
Step 07: Configuring Trunk ports to all Switches those interfaces which are connected to
relevant Routers:
Note: Apply these commands on all Switches:
Switch0(config-if)# Ctrl + Z
Switch0#
Switch0#write
Building configuration...
[OK]
Last Step: Now open CMD of PC 10.0.0.1 and ping 10.0.0.10, 50.0.0.1, 50.0.0.2 and 40.0.0.1
also ping 20.0.0.1 and 30.0.0.1 we can ping all PC from 10.0.0.1.
