This post provides some configurations details of EIGRP over Frame Relay Point to Multipoint (Hub and Spoke topology) with the dynamic mapping of DLCI’s to the peers IP address.

Points to Remember:

HUB  Router Configurations:

Router>ena
Router#config t
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#hostname HUB
HUB(config)#int s3/0
HUB(config-if)#ip address 192.168.123.1 255.255.255.0
HUB(config-if)#no shut
HUB(config-if)#encapsulation frame-relay
HUB(config-if)#exit

HUB(config)#router eigrp 1
HUB(config-router)#network 192.168.123.0
HUB(config-router)#exit

SPOKE1 Router Configurations:

Router>ena
Router#config t
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#hostname SPOKE1
SPOKE1(config)#int s3/0
SPOKE1(config-if)#ip address 192.168.123.2 255.255.255.0
SPOKE1(config-if)#no shut
SPOKE1(config-if)#encapsulation frame-relay
SPOKE1(config-if)#exit

SPOKE1(config)#router eigrp 1
SPOKE1(config-router)#network 192.168.123.0
SPOKE1(config-router)#exit

SPOKE2 Configurations:

Router>ena
Router#config t
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#hostname SPOKE2
SPOKE2(config)#int s3/0
SPOKE2(config-if)#ip address 192.168.123.3 255.255.255.0
SPOKE2(config-if)#no shut
SPOKE2(config-if)#encapsulation frame-relay
SPOKE2(config-if)#exit

SPOKE2(config)#router eigrp 1
SPOKE2(config-router)#network 192.168.123.0
SPOKE2(config-router)#^Z

VERFICATIONS:

HUB#show frame-relay map
Serial3/0 (up): ip 192.168.123.2 dlci 101(0x65,0x1850), dynamic,
              broadcast,, status defined, active

Serial3/0 (up): ip 192.168.123.3 dlci 102(0x66,0x1860), dynamic,
              broadcast,, status defined, active


SPOKE1#show frame-relay map
Serial3/0 (up): ip 192.168.123.1 dlci 202(0xCA,0x30A0), dynamic,
              broadcast,, status defined, active

SPOKE2#show frame-relay map
Serial3/0 (up): ip 192.168.123.1 dlci 203(0xCB,0x30B0), dynamic,
              broadcast,, status defined, active

PING TEST:

HUB#ping 192.168.123.2
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 192.168.123.2, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 52/56/60 ms

HUB#ping 192.168.123.3
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 192.168.123.3, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 52/58/76 ms
