Hi Chi,

Same reason you don't trust inverse-arp in frame-relay. Don't trust automatic
stuff as much as you can. If you map them, you KNOW they're right and working
the right way. If you leave it up to in-arp or inverse-arp, you might have som
e
bad surprises. Example: They provide a full mesh frame cloud between 3
routers, but the text only talks about 2 PVC going to a hub router with the
other 2 routers being spokes. If you don't turn off inverse-arp/map your DLCIs
,
your spoke routers will find out about the PVC between them and discover each
other's address, etc. In that case, your nextwork will still work, but you
would not be going through the hub router like the question requires. Result?
no points.

map map map.

When in doubt, map.

Thanks for the responses/suggestion of my last ATM question,
You guys are good. Here's a quick question,

If Inverse ARP can be used, why would you use MAP-LIST?
for example,

*** INARP
interface atm 0
 ip address 131.108.168.1 255.255.255.0
 atm rate-queue 1 100
 atm pvc 1 0 10 aal5snap inarp
 atm pvc 2 0 20 aal5snap inarp

*** map-list
interface atm 0
 ip address 131.108.168.1 255.255.255.0
 atm rate-queue 1 100
 atm pvc 1 0 10 aal5snap
 atm pvc 2 0 20 aal5snap
 map-group test-a
!
map-list test-a
 ip 131.108.168.2 atm-vc 1 broadcast
 ip 131.108.168.3 atm-vc 2 broadcast

Thanks,

Chi
