Description
General Information
Summary
Frame Relay is a multiplexed interface to packet switched network and is a simplified form of
Packet Switching similar in principle to X.25 in which synchronous frames of data are routed to
different destinations depending on header information. Frame Relay uses the synchronous HDLC
frame format.
Specifications
Packages required: synchronous
License required: level4
interface pvc
Standards and Technologies: Frame Relay (RFC1490)
Hardware usage: Not significant
Description
To use Frame Relay interface you must have already working synchronous interface. You can read
how to set up synchronous boards supported by Wandy RouterOS:
• Cyclades PC300 PCI Adapters
• Moxa C101 Synchronous interface
• Moxa C502 Dual Port Synchronous interface

Configuring Frame Relay Interface
interface pvc
Description
To configure frame relay, at first you should set up the synchronous interface, and then the PVC
interface.
Property Description
name (name; default: pvcN) - assigned name of the interface
mtu (integer; default: 1500) - Maximum Transmission Unit of an interface
dlci (integer; default: 16) - Data Link Connection Identifier assigned to the PVC interface
