Frame Relay Circuit Modes
The Bay Networks implementation of OSI over frame relay operates as a
subnetwork in either of these two types of Intermediate System to Intermediate
System (IS-IS) operation modes:
• Point-to-Point
• Broadcast
The OSI router implements these IS-IS operation modes over frame relay circuits.
Table 2-1
lists the frame relay modes used for IS-IS operations.
Direct Access
In direct access mode, OSI treats a PVC as a point-to-point connection. OSI views
each PVC as an individual network interface. In direct access mode, you configure
each frame relay PVC manually and configure the OSI protocol to run over it.
Figure 2-6
shows direct access mode with each PVC configured as a separate OSI
interface.
See Configuring Frame Relay Services for information about configuring PVCs.
