I call this the obligatory Router acting as a Frame-Relay Switch post.
You will find that a lot of blogs or websites post information on configuring a router to act as a frame-relay switch. The reason for this is that is a great way to simulate frame-relay in a lab and is very important in order to work on frame-relay and how it effects various other protocols and technologies. Instead of providing yet another example of how to accomplish this, this post is to provide a link to some of those examples out there.
I personally always had an old 4500 Router with 2 4 port serial cards acting as my frame-relay switch. It served dual duty as the frame switch and one of my backbone router via an ethernet interface. As you will see though, a very cost effective with is with 2500 series routers.

A simple search will provide even more examples.
