Cisco AS5200

[namesrhard2pick]

Hello,

Is it possible to configure a Cisco AS5200 access server as a frame relay switch for my CCNA test lab? It has two serial interfaces which I think is all I need. I have the DTE/DCE cables and two 2500 routers. I came across one of these at work sitting on a shelf.

Thanks

Wow, that's old...I would say yes. Need a config?

no service password-encryption

end

The router that plugs into s0 on the frame switch is dlci 101, and s1 is dlci 102.

I haven't had an opportunity to try yet. I will let you know.

Cool---reason I ask is because I know someone with a rack with an HP9000, and one of these Cisco terminal servers---I was going to get it, as they would let it go cheap (they don't know what they have!!!).

It worked my friend. My config is a little different than yours and instead of using two routes I used 1 2512 with two serial interfaces. The interfaces are happy and I'll eventually go to my original 3 router setup. I however wanted to give you feedback before the holiday. Have a Merry Christmas. Below is the show frame route
