Abstract
A method and apparatus for generic support of frame relay services in a communications network is presented. This is accomplished by defining a bit field that indicates whether or not particular functions or services (including frame relay services) are supported by a particular node or other network component. The bit field for each component within the communications network is communicated to the network manager, which stores the bit fields for each component within a database. The database is then utilized to perform network management functions, as it informs the network manager whether a particular service/feature is available on the network component to which the bit field corresponds.
