I think you have it right. The main interface will pick up any DLCIs that the L
MI reports, so there is no need to use 'frame-relay interface-dlci' on the main
interface unless you wanted to assign certain characteristics to a specific DL
CI using a mapclass.
However, I do not see where the extent of the frame cloud mesh would have any b
earing on whether to use the 'frame-relay interface-dlci' command or not. How t
he frame cloud is meshed -will- impact whether inverse-arp will be sufficient o
r whether frame relay maps will be required to control or help the router resol
ve the layer-2 next-hop for a given layer-3 address.
Please let me know if I missed your point,
Regards,
Mas Kato
