|  |  | Overview

You have learned that PPP and ISDN are two types of WAN technologies that can be implemented to solve connectivity issues between geographically distant locations. In this chapter, you will learn about another type of WAN technology, Frame Relay, that can be implemented to solve connectivity issues for users who need access to geographically distant locations. In this chapter, you will learn about Frame Relay services, standards, components, and operation. In addition, this chapter describes the configuration tasks for Frame Relay service, along with the commands for monitoring and maintaining a Frame Relay connection.

Washington Project: Implementing Frame Relay

In this chapter, you will learn the concepts and configuration procedures that enable you to add Frame Relay to the Washington School District network design. In addition, you will learn the steps to implement a Frame Relay link to the Internet per the specification in the TCS Overview. Implementing Frame Relay is the final step in your design and implementation of the district network.
