Continue on to Step 10

  1. Create a tunnel PVC (netlink) to carry frame relay traffic.
  2. CLI> add fr tunnel

    Parameter

    Range of Values

    Required Actions

    <TunnelIfIndex>

    INTEGER (1..255)

    Enter the IfIndex number selected in Step 9.

    <DlciNumber>

    INTEGER (16..991)

    The DLCI is used to identify this netlink when passing frame relay (and PANL) traffic. For connections across a public frame relay network, consult your network administrator for this value.

    <PhysicalCard>

    base | exp1 | exp2

    Use the Slot name identified in Step 1.

    <PhysicalPort>

    INTEGER (1..8)

    The physical location of the WAN port. Use the PPA value identified in Step 1.

    <Type>

    dte-panl | dce-panl | standard

    Choose standard for frame relay traffic (RFC 1490) between a Passport 4400 and a third party FRAD or router. Choose dte-panl or dce-panl to specify PANL netlinks between Passport units.

    Passport 4460:

    <PhysicalChannel>

    INTEGER (-1..30)

    For frame relay enter -1. If you are channelizing (DACS) for the T1 parameter, go to Digital Access and Cross-Connect System (DACS) for the applicable value.


Example for Passport 4430/50/55

CLI> add fr tunnel 145 23 base 2 standard

Example for Passport 4460

CLI> add fr tunnel 145 23 base 2 standard -1

Note

Note: For Passport 4430, 4450, and 4455, the Logical Interface Module (LIM) name for the base module is always limA. The WAN and Expansion modules are numbered lim1 through lim4. For the Passport 4460, the LIM name for the base module is always base, Expansion modules are named exp1, exp2, and the PCMCIA module is named pcmciaExp.


  1. Save the configuration of the Passport 4400 and restart the unit.
  2. CLI> save configuration update

    CLI> reset system current reset

  3. Confirm that the netlink is working properly.
  4. CLI> show msm linkStatus table

    A table similar to the following is displayed:

    IfIndex

    149

    InterfaceType

    dce

    LAPFStatus

    up

    LocalComponentName

    "LocalPassport4400"

    RemoteComponentName

    "RemotePassport4400"

    RemoteGenCfgType

    nortelAccessDevice

    PANLStatus

    up


The LAPFStatus and PANLStatus should both be up.
