playing (badly) with frame-relay

Have two routers back to back with a dce/dte cable; they communicate fine with just RIP. I've started to play with WAN protocols, beginning with frame relay, based on the Cisco article "back to back frame relay hybrid switching" ; as soon as I turn FR on the whole thing fails, in that I cant ping across the routers.

" show frame-relay lmi" does , however, report communication between the routers - I think I'm missing something here.....

show frame-relay lmi

Hi, perhaps you need to assign the DLCI to the interface.

e.g. int s0/0 frame-relay interface-dlci 102

also,

show frame-relay pvc is a good command :)

Turn off keepalives on both sides, assign the same DLCI on both ends. Assign the clock rate on the DCE end. (no keepalive, frame-interface dlci 101, clock rate 64000... etc). The keep alives are where the LMI information is sent... it will keep your connection down.

Worked last time I tried it.
