Verifying RSVP Support for Frame Relay

•Multipoint Configuration

•Point-to-Point Configuration

Multipoint Configuration

To verify RSVP support for Frame Relay in a multipoint configuration, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Enter the show ip rsvp installed command to display information about interfaces and their admitted reservations. The output in the following example shows that serial subinterface 3/0.1 has two reservations: 

Router# show ip rsvp installed


RSVP:Serial3/0

BPS    To              From            Protoc DPort  Sport  Weight Conversation

RSVP:Serial3/0.1

BPS    To              From            Protoc DPort  Sport  Weight Conversation

40K    145.20.22.212   145.10.10.211   UDP    10     10     0      24

50K    145.20.21.212   145.10.10.211   UDP    10     10     6      25

Note Weight 0 is assigned to voice-like flows, which proceed to the priority queue.

Step 2 Enter the show ip rsvp installed detail command to display additional information about interfaces, subinterfaces, DLCI PVCs, and their current reservations.

Note In the following output, the first flow gets a reserved queue with a weight > 0, and the second flow gets the priority queue with a weight = 0. 

Router# show ip rsvp installed detail

Configuration Examples for Configuring RSVP Support for Frame Relay

•Example: Multipoint Configuration

•Example: Point-to-Point Configuration

Example: Multipoint Configuration

Figure 1 shows a multipoint interface configuration commonly used in Frame Relay environments in which multiple PVCs are configured on the same subinterface at router R1.

Figure 1 Multipoint Interface Configuration

RSVP performs admission control based on the minCIR of DLCI 101 and DLCI 201. The congestion point is not the 10.1.1.1/16 subinterface, but the CIR of DLCI 101 and DLCI 201.

The following example is a sample output for serial interface 3/0: 

interface Serial3/0

 no ip address

 encapsulation frame-relay

 no fair-queue

 frame-relay traffic-shaping

 frame-relay lmi-type cisco

 ip rsvp bandwidth 350 350

!

interface Serial3/0.1 multipoint

 ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.0.0

 frame-relay interface-dlci 101

  class fr-voip

 frame-relay interface-dlci 201

  class fast-vcs

 ip rsvp bandwidth 350 350


ip rsvp pq-profile 6000 2000 ignore-peak-value

!

!

map-class frame-relay fr-voip

 frame-relay cir 800000

 frame-relay bc 8000

 frame-relay mincir 128000

 frame-relay fragment 280

 no frame-relay adaptive-shaping

 frame-relay fair-queue

!

map-class frame-relay fast-vcs

 frame-relay cir 200000

 frame-relay bc 2000

 frame-relay mincir 60000

 frame-relay fragment 280

 no frame-relay adaptive-shaping

 frame-relay fair-queue

!

Note When FRTS is enabled, the Frame Relay Committed Burst (Bc) value (in bits) should be configured to a maximum of 1/100th of the CIR value (in bits per second). This configuration ensures that the FRTS token bucket interval (Bc/CIR) does not exceed 10 Ms, and that voice packets are serviced promptly.

Example: Point-to-Point Configuration

Figure 2 shows a point-to-point interface configuration commonly used in Frame Relay environments in which one PVC per subinterface is configured at router R1.

Figure 2 Sample Point-to-Point Interface Configuration

Notice that the router interface bandwidth for R1 is T1 (1.544 Mbps), whereas the CIR value of DLCI 201 toward R3 is 256 kbps. For traffic flows from R1 to R3 over DLCI 201, the congestion point is the CIR for DLCI 201. As a result, RSVP performs admission control based on the minCIR and reserves resources, including queues and bandwidth, on the WFQ system that runs on each DLCI.

The following example is sample output for serial interface 3/0: 

interface Serial3/0

 no ip address

 encapsulation frame-relay

no fair-queue

 frame-relay traffic-shaping

 frame-relay lmi-type cisco

 ip rsvp bandwidth 500 500

!

interface Serial3/0.1 point-to-point

 ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.0.0

 frame-relay interface-dlci 101

  class fr-voip

 ip rsvp bandwidth 350 350

!

interface Serial3/0.2 point-to-point

 ip address 10.3.1.1 255.255.0.0

 frame-relay interface-dlci 201

  class fast-vcs

 ip rsvp bandwidth 150 150


ip rsvp pq-profile 6000 2000 ignore-peak-value

!

!

map-class frame-relay fr-voip

 frame-relay cir 800000

 frame-relay bc 8000

 frame-relay mincir 128000

 frame-relay fragment 280

 no frame-relay adaptive-shaping

 frame-relay fair-queue

Note When FRTS is enabled, the Frame Relay Committed Burst (Bc) value (in bits) should be configured to a maximum of 1/100th of the CIR value (in bits per second). This configuration ensures that the FRTS token bucket interval (Bc/CIR) does not exceed 10 Ms, and that voice packets are serviced promptly.
