Explanation:

Cisco supports two Frame Relay encapsulation types: the Cisco encapsulation and the IETF
Frame Relay encapsulation, which is in conformance with RFC 1490 and RFC 2427. The
former is often used to connect two Cisco routers while the latter is used to connect a Cisco
router to a non-Cisco router. You can test with your Cisco router when typing the command
Router(config-if)#encapsulation frame-relay ? on a WAN link. Below is the output of this
command (notice Cisco is the default encapsulation so it is not listed here, just press Enter
to use it).

Note: Three LMI options are supported by Cisco routers are ansi, Cisco, and Q933a. They
represent the ANSI Annex D, Cisco, and ITU Q933-A (Annex A) LMI types, respectively.
HDLC is a WAN protocol same as Frame-Relay and PPP so it is not a Frame Relay
encapsulation type.
