Step 5 If there is no output after you enter the command, use the show interface serial0
command to determine whether the serial interface is active. An example of this
command is in the next section, “Configuring the Point-to-Point Frame Relay
Connection.” The first line of the command output should be as follows:
Serial0 is up, line protocol is up
If the first line of the command output is “Serial0 is up, line protocol is down,”
you should confirm that the Local Management Interface (LMI) type for the
Frame Relay switch is correct by checking for the “LMI type is CISCO” message
in the same command output.
Step 6 To continue configuration, reenter global configuration mode.
Configuring the Point-to-Point Frame Relay Connection
Follow these steps to configure the Frame Relay interface, which connects your
router to the central-site router over the wide-area network.
