I have a Cisco 2610 router (router A) with 4 serial interfaces acting as the cloud (telco) frame-relay switch.
I have 4 cisco routers (router B,C,D,E) connected to this cloud router.

Can anyone provide the setup for this router (router A) for a frame-relay point-to-Multipoint configuration?

Please?

Tks
Frank
 
Router A is the host I would use one interface say serial 0
for the connection to the other routers use sub-interfaces
ser 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, and ser 0.4 point-to-point . On the wan ip 0.1 192.168.1.1/30 and the far end 192.168.1.2/30
ip 0.2 192.168.1.5/30 and the far end 192.168.1.6/30
ip 0.3 192.168.1.9/30 and the far end 192.168.1.10/30
ip 0.4 192.168.1.13/30 and the far end 192.168.1.14/30

routers b,c,d,e
router b- 192.168.1.2/30 and setup and ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1

router c-192.168.1.6/30 ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.5

router d-192.168.1.9/30 ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.10

router e-192.168.1.14/30 ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.13

I hopr this gives you someting to work with, good luck !!

Jeter@LasVegas.com The best answer I could ever give is the one to maintain my Sanity
 
Jeter,
Thanks for the help, but your answer was not exactly what I was looking for.
Perhaps, it's my fault 'cause I did not tell you this was in a lab environment, and router "A" would be serving as the telco cloud switch. Anyway, this is the answer I was looking for!!
In Frame-Relay configuration "point-to-point" or "point-to-multipoint" configurations are totally seperate from the cloud router. The cloud router (the Telco in most paying situations), decides whether the connection is "STAR", "Partical Mesh" or "Full Mesh"

[Since I just found out this answer myself, If I posted this message a second time, I would ask the question in a different way].

So with that being said, the cloud router will determine what topology the network takes, [ in the real paying world, the $$$ decides how the cloud will be setup]
So the following is what I was looking for (thanks for trying anyway)

Frame-relay Switching

interface S0/0
frame-relay route 111 interface s0/1 222 ----> to router B
frame-relay route 111 interface s0/2 333 ----> to router C
frame-relay route 111 interface s0/3 444 ----> to router D

interface s0/1
frame-relay route 222 interface s0/0 111 ----> to router A
frame-relay route 222 interface s0/2 333 ----> to router C
frame-relay route 222 interface s0/3 444 ----> to router D

interface s0/2
frame-relay route 333 interface s0/0 111 ----> to router A
frame-relay route 333 interface s0/1 222 ----> to router B
frame-relay route 333 interface s0/3 444 ----> to router D

Etc
Etc
Etc
Hope this clears it up - it does for me!!!!
Cheers
