As I’ve said, there are a ton of Frame Relay commands and configuration options (see Table
11.10), but I’m going to zero in on the ones you really need to know when studying for the
CCNA exam objectives. I’m going to start with one of the simplest configuration options—two
routers with a single PVC between them. Next, I’ll show you a more complex configuration
using subinterfaces and demonstrate some of the monitoring commands available to verify the
configuration.
