Configuring the Cisco router

Last Updated : May 03, 2013 |

Procedure

  1. Disable Frame Relay adaptive shaping.

    This technique reduces the CIR in response to backwards explicit congestion notification (BECN) messages from the service provider. Because traffic is being transmitted at the CIR in the first place, it does not need to be throttled.

  2. Set cir and mincir to the negotiated CIR.

    If FRF.12 fragmentation is implemented, reduce the cir and mincir values to account for the fragment headers.

  3. Set be, the excess burst rate, to 0.
  4. Set bc, the committed burst rate, to cir/100.

    This accounts for a serialization delay of maximum 10 ms .

  5. Apply this map class to an interface, subinterface, or VC.

Example

The complete configuration for Frame Relay traffic shaping looks like the following:
map-class frame-relay
    NoBurst no frame-relay adaptive shaping
    frame-relay cir 384000! (for a 384K CIR)
    frame-relay mincir 384000
    frame-relay be 0
    frame-relay bc 3840

    interface serial 0
    frame-relay class NoBurst
