RE: IPX over frame-relay...

You are missing frame map ipx statements from all spokes to the hub and all
other spokes (assuming you are using physical interfaces, otherwise you
would need frame-relay interface-dlci statements for sub-interfaces). If you
have a hub and two spokes then the hub can rely on inverse-arp, but without
a full mesh, each spoke needs frame-relay map statements to both the hub and
the other spoke. Encapsulation failed indicated that you are missing these
mappings. You also need to be aware that when you enter a frame relay map
statement, inverse-arp is disabled for the DLCI referenced in the statement.
This can lead to disaster if you only enter a frame-relay map statement to
the other spoke because when you reload the router, you will not be able to
map to the hub via inverse-arp anymore. Check for this by using the show
frame map command. If you see a dynamic map and a static map, you are set
for disaster.

Subject: IPX over frame-relay...

I've configured IPX over frame-relay and I can ping one spoke but not
the other. When I do a deb ipx pac it comes back as encap failed but
when I do an IP ping I get !!!!!
Has anyone ever seen such behavior before?
Regards,
Steve
