frame-relay

[splat78423]

I have aquired a used cisco 1700 router. I reset the unknown username, passwords, and the registers and can copy run start etc. etc..But when I try to setup frame-relay encapsulation I get an error


^

router(config-if)#encapsulation frame-relay ietf
^

it gives me an error after that command. am I doing anything wrong or does this routers IOS maybe not support frame-relay for some reason?

Can you paste a copy of output from 'show ver' and 'show ip int brief'

I dont have the router with me here at the office....... I will be happy to post that as soon as I get home.

I have been the network administrator of a high school for the past six months and have found this router sitting around my wire room, completely disconnected, doing nothing all this time. I asked the principle about it and she said that she doesnt know where it came from and that I am welcome to keep it if I'd like. I think it may have been from one of our old ISP's or something, I really dont know. Anyway, I reset the password and the register and have it now in a home lab enviroment for experiments and practice purposes.

Below I have listed the output from the requested commands you asked me to run. I just want to practice frame-relay configs and the like on it but am getting an unexpected error as I had stated in my first post.

According to Cisco, that version does support frame relay encapsulation. Are you sure you were trying that command on the serial interface and not the Fast Ethernet interface?

I was playing with the frame-relay commands (which I am obviously rusty at) off the top of my head very late last night. I think what I did was indeed an input error on my part. I wasnt trying to ecapsulate the ethernet interface with frame-relay though (that would have been an even funnier error though). I think I was trying to configure frame-relay in global config mode like an idiot. I should have cracked a book. Do you happen to have a link to the proper online documentation that can tell me what IOS versions support which WAN protocols?

Take a look at the example below. Good guide for setting it up. Some settings on the serial may vary depending on your ISP requirements.
