What are the components of the Cisco Frame Relay frame?
What will be an ideal response?
The Frame Relay frame format has the following specific parts:
• Flag-An eight-bit binary sequence (01111110) that indicates the start of the data frame
• Address-Two to four bytes that contain several pieces of Frame Relay information
• Ethertype-Identifies the type of higher-layer protocol being encapsulated (IP, IPX, or AppleTalk); this data field is specific to the Cisco proprietary frame format
• Data-A variable-length field that contains the information from the higher layers encapsulated in the Frame Relay frame
• FCS-frame check sequence (FCS) or cyclical redundancy check (CRC), a mathematical computation placed at the end of the frame and used to ensure that the frame was not corrupted during transmission
• Flag-An eight-bit binary sequence (01111110) that indicates the end of the data frame
