Configuring a Point-to-Multipoint Frame Relay Connection

To configure a point-to-multipoint Frame Relay connection (also called a multipoint NBMA connection), include the multipoint-destination statement:




multipoint-destination address dlci dlci-identifier;

You can include this statement at the following hierarchy levels:

[edit interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number family family address address]
[edit logical-systems logical-system-name interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number family family address address]

For each destination, include one multipoint-destination statement. address is the address of the remote side of the connection, and dlci-identifier is the DLCI identifier for the connection.

When you are configuring point-to-multipoint connections, all interfaces in the subnet must use the same MTU size.

If keepalives are enabled, causing the interface to send LMI messages during idle times, the number of possible DLCI configurations is limited by the MTU selected for the interface. For more information, see Configuring Frame Relay Keepalives.
