Re: ISIS over frame-relay troubles.....

ISIS has two network types,broadcast and point-to-point.
The broadcast type works between frame-relay physical to physical
or to multipoint interfaces. You do need to put in a frame-relay
map clns broadcast statement if there is not a clns dynamic map.
I did a simple frame relay physical to physical on three routers to
demonstrate this with output in-line below.

The point-to-point works between frame relay p-t-p subinterfaces or
other
pt-t-pt circuits.

If the types are mixed there is no command similiar to the ospf network
command. This is the case in the Doyle example. In this case use a
tunnel.
A tunnel works in the other cases also but is unnecessary.

Output from sample frame relay physical to physical (will also work
physical to multipoint or multipoint-to-multipoint):
