Configuring Frame Relay in GNS3 with OSPF

Today I have been configuring frame relay in GNS3.

My setup is one frame relay switch with one virtual frame relay circuit, point to point.



Here is the configuration for the interfaces on R1 and R2.

R1#sh run | sec interface Serial0/0
interface Serial0/0
 no ip address
 encapsulation frame-relay
 clock rate 2000000
 cdp enable
interface Serial0/0.1 point-to-point
 ip address 192.168.1.254 255.255.255.252
 frame-relay interface-dlci 101
R1#
R1#sh run | sec interface Loopback1
interface Loopback1
 ip address 172.16.1.1 255.255.255.0

R1#
R2#sh run | sec interface Serial0/0
interface Serial0/0
 no ip address
 encapsulation frame-relay
 clock rate 2000000
 cdp enable
interface Serial0/0.1 point-to-point
 ip address 192.168.1.253 255.255.255.252
 frame-relay interface-dlci 202
R2#
R2#sh run | sec interface Loopback1
interface Loopback1
 ip address 172.16.2.1 255.255.255.0
R2#

Notice the clock rate is specified on both R1 and R2. This is not an error as GNS3 is unable to simulate DTE and DCE interfaces properly. I belive this works fine in Packet Tracer though.

Here is the configuration for OSPF for routers R1 and R2

R1#sh run | sec ospf
router ospf 100
 router-id 11.0.0.0
 log-adjacency-changes
 network 172.16.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
 network 192.168.1.252 0.0.0.3 area 0
R1#
R2#sh run | sec ospf
router ospf 100
 router-id 10.0.0.0
 log-adjacency-changes
 network 172.16.2.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
 network 192.168.1.252 0.0.0.3 area 0
R2#

Here is the output of various 'show frame-relay' commands for both routers.

I have posted this as I thought it might be useful to someone who wants to briefly study the configuration.

Hope it helps!!!
