Hi i have a 6500 terminating frame-relay. Recently we consolidated some T1 frame circuits from one T3 to another. While moving these circuits to the new interface on the new T3, we made sure to configure the new interface excatly like the old interface and nothing changed with the CPE on the other end, some circutis moved over with no issue to the new T3/interface while others didn't. I would say for every 8 to 10 moved 2 gave been giving us issues.
The issue/strangeness is as follows, the interface appears to be physically up and protocol is up, so its in up/up state however it never passes traffic. When i looked at this closely i notice that LMI was being recieved but not sent from the show int command, see below for output. Then i also notice that inverse arp was not working and there was no dynamic dlci map on my end. To troubleshoot i manually added the map with the frame-relay map ip command but this didn't help, i couldn't ping the remote side and no traffic was passed on that interface while again showin up/up. I did a shut/no shut on the interface and nothing. I did notice that when i removed then added frame-relay intf-type dce it would start to send lmi but again it would no pass traffic. Now when i called Verizon to move that T1 back to the old interface which i left intact aside from the ip address statement it worked great, the interface showed up/up the dynamic dlci mapping was there and it passed traffic.
On my end these frame-relay lines terminate on flexwans and the issue happened on more than one flexwan. The only way i could get these problematic circutis to work was to changed them to PPP on the new interface/T3 which caused it to pass traffic with no issues.
This is a strange one and im really not sure what the issue is, below is the output related to the problem with some debug info.
thanks for any help, paul
