Configuring the Router as a DCE

By default, when you configure an interface with Frame Relay encapsulation, the routing platform is assumed to be DTE. That is, the routing platform is assumed to be at a terminal point on the network. To configure the routing platform to be DCE, include the dce statement at the [edit interfaces interface-name] hierarchy level:



[edit interfaces interface-name]

dce;

When you configure the routing platform to be a DCE, keepalives are disabled by default.

For back-to-back Frame Relay connections, either disable the sending of keepalives on both sides of the connection, or configure one side of the connection as a DCE and the other as a DTE by removing the dce statement from the configuration (the default JUNOS configuration).
