This page will show how to configure a regular Cisco Router to work like a Frame Relay switch. This router will provide Frame Relay switching to 4 other remote routers.
The following is the diagram of the frame relay topology:
In the following section, I will only include the running config that make the router a frame relay switch:

interface Serial0/0
description Link to R1
no ip address
encapsulation frame-relay
serial restart-delay 0
clock rate 64000
no frame-relay inverse-arp
frame-relay lmi-type ansi
frame-relay intf-type dce
frame-relay route 102 interface Serial0/1 201

interface Serial0/1
description Link to R2
no ip address

frame-relay route 203 interface Serial0/2 302

interface Serial0/2
description Link to R3
no ip address
encapsulation frame-relay
serial restart-delay 0
clock rate 64000
no frame-relay inverse-arp
frame-relay lmi-type ansi
frame-relay intf-type dce
frame-relay route 302 interface Serial0/1 203
frame-relay route 304 interface Serial0/3 403
!
interface Serial0/3
description Link to R4
no ip address
encapsulation frame-relay
serial restart-delay 0
clock rate 64000
no frame-relay inverse-arp
frame-relay lmi-type ansi
frame-relay intf-type dce
frame-relay route 403 interface Serial0/2 304
!
The most important line is the frame-relay route command on each of the serial interface command.
The syntax is listed on this link. Here is the syntax of frame-relay route command:
"frame-relay route in-dlci interface out-interface-type out-interface-number out-dlci[voice-encap size]"
I would rephrase it as the following:
"frame-relay route source-dlci interface exit-interface-type mod/num destination-dlci"
The following are the frame-relay configuration from the remote routers with the proper DLCI. Just a reminder, the connection is a point-to-point on frame relay.
