Ethernet/VLAN to Frame Relay Interworking
Figure 21-10
FR
CE
In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SB, the Ethernet/VLAN to Frame Relay AToM has the following
restrictions:
The following translations are only supported and other translations are dropped:
•
•
The PE router automatically supports translation of both Cisco and IETF FR encapsulation types
coming from the CE, but translates only to IETF when sending to the CE router. This is not a
problem for the Cisco CE router, because it can manage IETF encapsulation upon receipt even if it
is configured to send a Cisco encapsulation.
The PVC status signaling works the same way as in the like-to-like case. The PE router reports the
•
PVC status to the CE router based upon the availability of the pseudowire.
The attachment circuit maximum transmission unit (MTU) must match when connected over MPLS.
•
Only FR DLCI mode is supported. FR port mode is not supported.
•
If the Ethernet frame includes a 802.1Q header (VLAN header), due to the type of endpoint
•
attachment (Ethernet port mode), the VLAN header stays in the frame across the pseudowire
(Figure
FR encapsulation types supported for routed interworking are Cisco and IETF for incoming traffic.
•
However, IETF is also supported for outgoing traffic traveling to the CE only.
