unable to ping frame relay interface nortel router

[milky88]

I am trying to program a Nortel AN router using frame relay on the wan serial interface. I set up the circuit through site manager. I gave both the serial interface and ethernet interface an ip address. The wan interface has a pvc dlci # assigned. The only way I can ping the serial interface is if the management is set to
"dlcmi none". The service provider say I need to have ANSI compatible management. I thought of source bridge routing.

Any Suggestions
Thanks,

Mike

This may sound simple but is the circuit up when you try and ping it? Do you have any traffic or policy filters on that interface that might be stopping you? Let me know if the circuit is up and does it pass ip traffic.

JohnJohn,

The circuit is up and running. I used site manager to program the router and I try to ping the router internally, but I am unable to do so. As soon I as switch the management of the wan circuit to dclmi none, I can ping the Wan interface. The provider wants me to use ANSI T1 617D as the management type for the interface. Any suggestions.

Thanks

Mike

What does the Telco have to say? Maybe they did not setup your frame circuit with T1 617D. The ISP May have it on thier end but not yours. See if the Telco misconfigured your end would be my first guess.

milky,

In Site Manager, click on the appropriate serial interface, com1 for example...

com1\edit circuit\interfaces\Enable\ENABLE
com1\edit circuit\interfaces\mgmnt type\ANSI T1 617D

This will not appear in the bcc config. There is nothing more to it than that. Check to see if the interface goes down when you set the management type to ANSI. If it does then there is something wrong with the SP's link/equip.

Hai,

I belived that the fault is with you Telco, I have the same problem once. The Telco have set it so that the link will be up with either reverse arp or dlcmi none. Don't asked them to test the line but rather check the config on the wan switching.

Thanks
