Configuring SNA Frame Relay Access Support

Configuring SNA Frame Relay Access Support

This chapter describes Frame Relay Access Support (FRAS) for Systems Network Architecture (SNA) devices. It also explains how to configure FRAS and how to use a FRAS host to connect Cisco Frame Relay Access Devices (FRADs) to channel-attached mainframes, LAN-attached front-end processors (FEPs), and LAN-attached AS/400s through a Cisco router.

For a complete description of the FRAS commands in this chapter, refer to the "SNA Frame Relay Access Support Commands" chapter of the Cisco IOS Bridging and IBM Networking Command Reference (Volume 1 of 2). To locate documentation of specific commands, use the command reference master index or search online.

This chapter contains the following sections:

For more information, see the "Identifying Platform Support for Cisco IOS Software Features" section in the "Using Cisco IOS Software" chapter.

Technology Overview

FRAS, the Cisco IOS software allows branch SNA devices to connect directly to a central site FEP over a Frame Relay network. FRAS converts LAN or Synchronous Data-Link Control (SDLC) protocols to a Frame Relay format understood by the Network Control Program (NCP) that runs in an FEP. The
Cisco IOS software and the NCP support two frame formats:

Management service point support in FRAS allows the SNA network management application, NetView, to manage Cisco routers over the Frame Relay network as if it were an SNA downstream PU.

FRAS provides dial backup over RSRB in case the Frame Relay network is down. While the backup Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) is being used, the Frame Relay connection is tried periodically. As soon as the Frame Relay network is up, it will be used.

RFC 1490 Routed Format for LLC2 (BNN)

RFC 1490 specifies a standard method of encapsulating multiprotocol traffic with data link (Level 2 of the OSI model) framing. The encapsulation for SNA data is specified in the FRF.3 Agreement.

The Frame Relay encapsulation method is based on the RFC 1490 frame format for "user-defined" protocols using Q.933 NLPID, as illustrated in Figure 184.


Figure 184: Frame Relay Encapsulation Based on RFC 1490



Note   The protocol ID for SNA subarea FID4 is 0x81. The protocol ID for SNA subarea FID2 is 0x82. The protocol ID for APPN FID2 is 0x83.

FRAS allows the router acting as a FRAD to take advantage of the SNA BNN support for Frame Relay provided by ACF/NCP 7.1 and OS/400 V2R3. Downstream PU 2.0 and PU 2.1 devices can be attached to the router through SDLC, Token Ring, or Ethernet links. The router acting as a FRAD is connected to the Network Control Program (NCP) or AS/400 through a public or private Frame Relay network, as illustrated in Figure 185.


Figure 185: SNA BNN Support for Frame Relay


The frame format that communicates across the Frame Relay BNN link is defined in RFC 1490 for routed SNA traffic. From the perspective of the SNA host (for example an NCP or AS/400), the Frame Relay connection is defined as a switched resource similar to a Token Ring BNN link. Because the frame format does not include link addresses to allow the NCP to distinguish among SNA devices on the same permanent virtual circuit, Cisco supports SAP multiplexing, which allows you to configure unique LLC2 SAPs for each downstream SNA device so that they can share a single permanent virtual circuit to an FEP.

The Cisco IOS software is responsible for terminating the local data-link control frames (such as SDLC and Token Ring frames) and for modifying the data-link control frames to 802.2 compliant LLC frames. The LLC provides a reliable connection-oriented link layer transport required by SNA. (For example, 802.2 LLC is used to provide link-layer acknowledgment, sequencing, and flow control.)

The Cisco IOS software encapsulates these 802.2 LLC frames according to the RFC 1490 format for SNA traffic. The frames are then forwarded to the SNA host on a Frame Relay permanent virtual circuit (PVC). In the reverse direction, the software is responsible for de-encapsulating the data from the Frame Relay PVC, and for generating and sending the appropriate local data-link control frames to the downstream devices.

RFC 1490 Bridged Format for LLC2 (BAN)

BAN provides functionality similar to BNN except that it uses a bridged frame format, as illustrated in Figure 186.


Figure 186: RFC 1490 Bridged Frame Format


Because it includes the MAC header information in every frame, BAN supports multiple SNA devices sharing a single permanent virtual circuit without requiring SAP multiplexing. BAN also supports load balancing across duplicate data-link connection identifiers to the same or different FEPs at the data center to enhance overall availability. BAN works for devices attached by either Token Ring or Ethernet.

SNA FRAS Configuration Task List

To configure FRAS, perform the tasks described in the following sections:

To configure the FRAS host, see the "Configuring FRAS Host" section. For configuration examples, see the "FRAS and FRAS Host Configuration Examples" section.

Configuring FRAS BNN Statically

To configure FRAS BNN statically, use one of the following commands in interface configuration mode, as needed:

Command Purpose
Router(config-if)# 
fra
s map llc mac-address lan-lsap lan-rsap 
serial port frame-relay dlci fr-lsap fr-rsap 
[pfid2 | afid2 | fid4]

Associates an LLC connection with a Frame Relay DLCI.

Router(config-if)# 
fra
s map sdlc sdlc-address serial port 
frame-relay dlci fr-lsap fr-rsap [pfid2 | 
afid2 | fid4]

Associates an SDLC link with a Frame Relay DLCI.

In this implementation, you configure and define each end station MAC and SAP address pair statically.

Because Frame Relay itself does not provide a reliable transport as required by SNA, the RFC 1490 support of SNA uses LLC2 as part of the encapsulation to provide link-level sequencing, acknowledgment, and flow control. The serial interface configured for Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) encapsulation (RFC 1490) accepts all LLC2 interface configuration commands.

Configuring FRAS BNN Dynamically

To configure FRAS BNN dynamically, use one of the following commands in interface configuration mode, as needed:

Command Purpose
Router(config-if)# fras 
map llc lan-lsap serial interface frame-relay 
dlci dlci fr-rsap

Associates an LLC connection with a Frame Relay DLCI.

Router(config-if)# 
fra
s map sdlc sdlc-address serial port 
frame-relay dlci fr-lsap fr-rsap [pfid2 | 
afid2 | fid4]

Associates an SDLC link with a Frame Relay DLCI.

When you associate an LLC connection with a Frame Relay DLCI, the router "learns" the MAC/SAP information as it forwards packets to the host. The FRAS BNN feature provides seamless processing at the router regardless of end station changes. End stations can be added or deleted without reconfiguring the router.

When you associate an SDLC link with a Frame Relay DLCI, you configure and define each end station MAC and SAP address pair statically.

Because Frame Relay itself does not provide a reliable transport as required by SNA, the RFC 1490 support of SNA uses LLC2 as part of the encapsulation to provide link-level sequencing, acknowledgment, and flow control. The serial interface configured for IETF encapsulation (RFC 1490) can take all LLC2 interface configuration commands.

Configuring FRAS BAN Support

To configure Frame Relay BAN, use the following command in interface configuration mode:

Command Purpose
Router(config-if)# fras 
ban local-ring bridge-number ring-group 
ban-dlci-mac dlci dlci#1 [dlci#2 ... dlci#5] 
[bni mac-addr] 

Associates a bridge to the Frame Relay BAN.

BAN simplifies router configuration when multiple LLC sessions are multiplexed over the same DLCI. By comparison, SAP multiplexing requires static definitions and maintenance overhead. By using BAN, the Token Ring MAC address is included in every frame to uniquely identify the LLC session. Downstream devices can be dynamically added and deleted with no configuration changes required on the router.

Configuring SRB over Frame Relay

To configure SRB over Frame Relay, use the following commands in interface configuration mode:

Command Purpose

Step 1 

Router(config-if)# interface serial 
number

Specifies the serial port.

Step 2 

Router(config-if)# encapsulation 
frame-relay

Enables Frame Relay encapsulation.

Step 3 

Router(config-if)# interface serial 
slot/port.subinterface-number 
point-to-point

Configures a Frame Relay point-to-point subinterface.

Step 4 

Router(config-if)# frame-relay 
interface-dlci dlci ietf

Configures a DLCI number for the point-to-point subinterface.

Step 5 

Router(config-if)# source-bridge 
source-ring-number bridge-number 
target-ring-number conserve-ring

Assigns a ring number to the Frame Relay permanent virtual circuit.

Cisco IOS software offers the ability to encapsulate source-route bridging traffic using RFC 1490 Bridged 802.5 encapsulation. This provides SRB over Frame Relay functionality. This SRB over Frame Relay feature is interoperable with other vendors' implementations of SRB over Frame Relay and with some vendors' implementations of FRAS BAN.

SRB over Frame Relay does not support the following Cisco IOS software functions:

Configuring FRAS Congestion Management

FRAS provides a congestion control mechanism based on the interaction between congestion notification bits in the Frame Relay packet and the dynamic adjustment of the LLC2 send window. This window shows the number of frames the Cisco IOS software can send before waiting for an acknowledgment. The window size decreases with the occurrence of backward explicit congestion notification (BECN) and increases when no BECN frames are received.

To configure congestion management, use the following commands in interface configuration mode:

Command Purpose

Step 1 

Router(config-if)# 
llc2 
local-window packet-count

Specifies the maximum window size for each logical connection.

Step 2 

Router(config-if)# 
llc2 dynwind [nw 
nw-number] [dwc dwc-number]

Enables the dynamic window flow-control mechanism.

You can enable the dynamic window mechanism only if you are using Frame Relay IETF encapsulation.

Configuring FRAS DLCI Backup

To configure FRAS DLCI backup, use the following command in interface configuration mode:

Command Purpose
Router(config-if)# fras 
ddr-backup interface interface dlci-number

Specifies an interface to be used for the backup connection and indicate the DLCI number of the session.

FRAS DLCI backup is an enhancement to Cisco's FRAS implementation that lets you configure a secondary path to the host to be used when the Frame Relay network becomes unavailable. When the primary Frame Relay link to the Frame Relay WAN fails, the FRAS DLCI backup feature causes the router to reroute all sessions from the main Frame Relay interface to the secondary interface. The secondary interface can be either serial or ISDN and must have a data-link connection identifier (DLCI) configured.

Figure 187 illustrates Frame Relay backup over an ISDN connection.


Figure 187: FRAS DLCI Backup over ISDN



Note   This feature provides backup for the local end of the Frame Relay connection, not the complete end-to-end connection.

Configuring Frame Relay RSRB Dial Backup

When the Frame Relay network is down, the Cisco IOS software checks whether the dial backup feature is configured for the particular DLCI number. If it is configured, the software removes the FRAS to the downstream device connection and establishes the RSRB to this downstream device connection.

To configure RSRB dial backup, use the following command in interface configuration mode:

Command Purpose
Router(config-if)# fras 
backup rsrb vmacaddr local-ring-number 
target-ring-number host-mac-address

Activates Frame Relay RSRB dial backup.

Configuring Frame Relay DLSw+ Dial Backup

The FRAS dial backup over DLSw+ feature provides a secondary path that is used when the Frame Relay network becomes unavailable. If preconfigured properly, when the primary link to the Frame Relay WAN fails, FRAS dial backup over DLSw+ feature moves existing sessions to the alternate link automatically. When the primary link is restored, existing sessions are kept on the backup connection so they can be moved non-disruptively to the primary link at the user's discretion.

To enable FRAS dial backup over DLSw+, use the following command in interface configuration mode:

Command Purpose
Router(config-if)# fras 
backup dlsw virtual-mac-address 
target-ring-number host-mac-address 
[retry number]

Configures an auxiliary (backup) route between the end stations and the host for use when the DLCI connection to the Frame Relay network is lost.

Figure 188 shows a Frame Relay network with FRAS dial backup over DLSw+.


Figure 188: FRAS Dial Backup over DLSw+


Figure 189 shows the active FRAS dial backup over DLSw+ when the Frame Relay connection to the NCP is lost.


Figure 189: FRAS Dial Backup over DLSw+ when Frame Relay is Unavailable


Monitoring and Maintaining FRAS

To display information about the state of FRAS, use the following command in privileged EXEC mode:

Command Purpose
Router# show fras

Displays the mapping and connection state of the FRAS.

Configuring FRAS Host

The FRAS host provides a scalable and efficient solution for SNA FRAD access to channel-attached hosts and to LAN-attached hosts. The FRAS host function operates in two modes, which are documented in the following sections:

FRAS Host LLC2 Passthrough

The FRAS host LLC passthrough feature combines with a CIP-attached Cisco router's high-speed channel access to provide FEP-class performance at a fraction of what it would cost to achieve similar functionality using a FEP. If the CIP SNA feature is used to interface with the mainframe, then FRAS host LLC2 passthrough mode is the recommended solution. In this topology the LLC2 passthrough solution to the CIP-SNA LLC2 stack provides better performance, is more robust, and responds well to different types of congestion.

To prevent LLC2 session timeout, LLC2 characteristics (windows and timers) may be tuned on the CIP internal LAN adapter. The CIP/SNA LLC2 stack reacts to congestion by dynamically adjusting its LLC2 send window for that LLC2 session in response to dropped frames.

With the FRAS host LLC passthrough feature, you gain performance benefits of a channel attachment without FEP upgrades such as the addition of a Frame Relay interface, an upgrade to NCP (with its associated increase in monthly charges), and a possible increase in system memory.

Figure 190 illustrates Cisco FRAD access to a mainframe through a channel-attached Cisco router.


Figure 190:
Cisco FRAD Access to a Mainframe through a Cisco 7500


FRAS Host LLC2 Local Termination

If the FRAS host feature is used to allow remote FRADs to communicate with a LAN-attached IBM 3745 or AS/400, then LLC2 termination via DLSw+ local switching is the recommended solution. With this approach, the LLC2 sessions are terminated at the Route Processor. To prevent LLC2 session timeout, LLC2 characteristics (windows and timers) may be tuned on the virtual Token Ring interface. If the dynamic window algorithm is enabled on the virtual Token Ring interface, LLC2 local termination will react to congestion by dynamically adjusting its LLC2 send window in response to occurrence of Frame Relay BECN.

When you use the FRAS host LLC2 local termination feature on a Token Ring-attached FEP, the FRAS host Cisco router shields the FEP from having to manage the interface to the Frame Relay network. This avoids interface, memory, and NCP upgrades. The FRAS host Cisco router simply provides LLC2 sessions to the FEP over the LAN.

If used in an environment with AS/400s, FRAS host LLC2 local termination provides an even more valuable function. The Cisco FRAS host router offloads the management of the Frame Relay connections from the AS/400. This reduces AS/400 system hardware requirements and frees AS/400 CPU cycles for user applications.

Figure 191 illustrates Cisco FRAD access to a LAN-attached SNA host through a Cisco router.


Figure 191:
Cisco FRAD Access to a LAN-Attached AS/400 through a Cisco 4500


Congestion Management

Both passthrough and local acknowledgment environments support frame discard eligibility (DE) for additional congestion management. In both environments, you can further tune the interface to the Frame Relay network by taking advantage of the Cisco IOS Frame Relay features. Taken together, these features increase overall throughput dramatically by comparison to generic FRADs, which typically cannot use the network with the same degree of efficiency.

FRAS Host Configuration Task List

To configure the FRAS host migration feature, perform the tasks in the following sections:

See the "FRAS and FRAS Host Configuration Examples" section for examples.

Creating a Virtual Token Ring Interface

To configure a virtual Token Ring interface, use the following command in interface configuration mode:

Command Purpose
Router(config-if)# interface 
virtual-tokenring number

Configures a virtual Token Ring interface.

Configuring Source-Route Bridging on the Virtual Token Ring Interface

To configure SRB on the Token Ring interface, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:

Command Purpose

Step 1 

Router(config)# source-bridge 
ring-group ring-group 
virtual-mac-address

Enables local SRB.

Step 2 

Router(config)# source-bridge 
local-ring bridge-number target-ring

Enables FRAS host traffic to access the SRB domain.


Note   If you are using LLC2 passthrough with an Ethernet-attached host, you must configure the Cisco source-route translational bridging (SR/TLB) feature.

Accepting Default LLC2 Passthrough or Enabling LLC2 Local Termination

LLC2 passthrough is the default operational mode for all FRAS host connections that use a virtual Token Ring interface. You do not need to perform any configuration to accept the default LLC2 passthrough mode.

To enable LLC2 local termination for FRAS host connections using the virtual Token Ring, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:

Command Purpose

Step 1 

Router(config)# dlsw local-peer

Defines the parameters of the DLSw+ local peer.

Step 2 

Router(config)# fras-host 
dlsw-local-ack

Enables LLC2 local termination for FRAS host connections.

Enabling the FRAS Host Feature for BAN or BNN

To enable the FRAS host for BAN or BNN, use the following commands in interface configuration mode:

Command Purpose

Step 1 

Router(config-if)# fras-host bnn 
interface fr-lsap sap vmac virt-mac 
hmac hmac [hsap hsap]

Configures the FRAS host for BNN.

Step 2 

Router(config-if)# fras-host ban 
interface hmac hmac [bni bni-mac]

Configures the FRAS host for BAN.

Monitoring LLC2 Sessions Using FRAS Host

To display the status of LLC2 sessions using FRAS host, use the following command in privileged EXEC mode:

Command Purpose
Router# show fras-host [interface] 
[dlcidlci-num] [detail]

Displays the status of LLC2 sessions using FRAS host.

FRAS and FRAS Host Configuration Examples

The following sections provide both FRAS and FRAS host configuration examples:

FRAS BNN Topology Example

FRAS BNN transports SNA traffic across different media through a Cisco router and then through a Frame Relay link to the host. SNA PU 2.0 and PU 2.1 devices may be attached to the remote router through Token Ring, SDLC, or Ethernet to access the Frame Relay network. The FRAS BNN topology is illustrated in Figure 194.


Figure 194: FRAS BNN Topology


The original Frame Relay BNN feature transports traffic from multiple PUs over a single DLCI. This function is called SAP multiplexing. The router uses a unique SAP address (fr-lsap) for each downstream PU when communicating with the host. In this implementation, each end station's MAC/SAP address pair must be statically defined to the router. Consequently, the router must be reconfigured each time an end station is moved, added, or deleted. The configuration overhead for this implementation can be high.

The FRAS BNN feature, where the router "learns" the MAC/SAP information as it forwards packets to the host, offers several advantages over the original FRAS BNN implementation. The BNN enhancement alleviates the need to reconfigure the router when end stations are moved, added, or deleted. The configuration is simple: one map definition in the router is sufficient for multiple downstream devices. The router "learns" the addresses of the downstream devices in the normal course of communication (as shown in Figure 195).

Figure 195 illustrates the Frame Relay BNN configuration for both the original implementation and the enhanced implementation.


Figure 195: Frame Relay BNN Support


If the end station initiates the LLC session, the router acquires the Token Ring address and the SAP value of the end station from the incoming frame. Instead of mapping the end station's MAC/SAP address pair (as was done in the original FRAS BNN implementation), the destination MAC/SAP address pair of the incoming frame is mapped to the Frame Relay DLCI. If the destination SAP specified by the end station is equal to the lan-lsap address, the router associates the LLC (LAN) connection with the Frame Relay DLCI. The MAC address and the SAP address of the end station are no longer required in the router configuration. Thus, in the enhanced FRAS BNN implementation one configuration command achieves the same result for the end stations as did multiple configuration commands in the original FRAS BNN implementation.

FRAS BNN Example

The following configuration example enables the FRAS BNN feature. The topology is illustrated in Figure 196.

FRAS BAN Example

The following configuration shows FRAS BAN support for Token Ring and serial interfaces. You must specify the source-bridge ring-group global command before you configure the fras ban interface command. When Token Ring is configured, the source-bridge interface command includes the local-ring, bridge-number, and the target-ring values. The source-bridge command enables local source-route bridging on a Token Ring interface.

SRB over Frame Relay Example

Figure 197 illustrates the interoperability provided by SRB over Frame Relay. FRADs B and C forward frames from their locally attached Token Rings over the Frame Relay network using SRB.


Figure 197: FRAD Using SRB over Frame Relay to Connect to a Cisco Router


Figure 197 illustrates a network with the following characteristics:

In this example we configure a new option, conserve-ring, on the source-bridge interface configuration command. When this option is configured, the SRB software does not add the ring number associated with the Frame Relay PVC to outbound explorer frames. This option is permitted for Frame Relay subinterfaces only.

The router configures the partner FRAD's virtual ring number as the ring number for the PVC.

This approach does not require a separate ring number per DLCI. The router configures the partner FRAD's virtual ring number as the ring number for the PVC.

FRAD B configures its virtual ring as 200 and the ring for the PVC as 100. FRAD C configures its virtual ring as 300 and the ring for the PVC as 100.
