Configuring the Router as a DCE with Frame Relay Encapsulation
By default, when you configure an interface with Frame Relay encapsulation, the routing platform is assumed to be data terminal equipment (DTE). That is, the routing platform is assumed to be at a terminal point on the network.
When you configure the router to be a data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE), keepalives are disabled by default.
To configure the router to be DCE:
- In configuration mode, go to the [edit interfaces interface-name] hierarchy level:[edit]user@host# edit interfaces interface-name
- Configure the dce option to respond to Frame
Relay status enquiry messages.[edit interfaces interface-name]user@host# set dce
Perform one of the following tasks for back-to-back Frame Relay connections:
- Disable sending of keepalives on both sides of the connection.
- Configure one side of the connection as a DTE (the default Junos configuration) by removing the dce statement from the configuration and the other as a DCE.
