Introduction
The Frame Relay to ATM network interworking function allows Frame Relay traffic to be transported through an ATM network. Based on the Frame Relay Forum (FRF.5) 
implementation agreement, it enables two Frame Relay end stations to communicate with each other through an ATM network.
This document presents a sample configuration of Frame Relay to ATM network interworking using FRF.5 on the LightStream 1010. This configuration also works on the Catalyst 8510 MSR or 8540 MSR.
Prerequisites
Requirements
There are no specific requirements for this document.
Components Used
The information in this document is based on Cisco IOS® Software Release 12.0(3c)W5(9).
The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.
Conventions
For more information on document conventions, refer to Cisco Technical Tips Conventions.
Configure
In this section, you are presented with the information to configure the features described in this document.
Note: To find additional information on the commands used in this document, use the Command Lookup Tool (registered customers only) .
Network Diagram
This document uses this network setup:
The Frame Relay traffic shaping parameters used in this sample configuration are:
-
Committed information rate (CIR) = 64 kbps
-
Committed burst (Bc) = 8000
-
Excess burst (Be) = 8000

Verify
This section provides information you can use to confirm your configuration is working properly.
Certain show commands are supported by the Output Interpreter Tool (registered customers only) , which allows you to view an analysis of show command output.
-
show frame connection-traffic-table-row
-
show atm connection-traffic-table
-
show atm vc interface atm 0/1/1
-
show frame-relay interface resource serial 4/0/0:1 all-information
The output shown below is a result of issuing these commands on the devices shown in the network diagram. This output shows that the network is operating properly.
Note: The term ATM-PX/Y/Z means pseudo interface.
