Bob,

Direct must be point to point. When using direct you must also use the IP
address on the serial int NOT a loopback or a token/ether, etc. I am not
sure why, but from my testing the remote side must ack the frames and thus
when you use any int that is not the directly connected int, the L2 frame is
then routed to the next int. That is also why only p2p works I guess!
Remember with DLSW Lite this does not matter as the frame is locally
acknowledged. This is only an issue when using the pass-thru command.

I have some dynamic peer stuff that works. Basically dynamic peer circuits
and the peer connection are only brought up when there is traffic destined
for the remote side (I guess that is fairly obvious). I have had success
doing this when using a dest-mac statement under the remote-peer as you can
better control the dynamic peer. Some configs are as follows which create a
host and a FEP and also two DLSW routers runnning dynamic over HDLC. Nothing
fancy, I am not using loopbacks just the serial ints.

When you start it up the peers will connect and 2 circuits will establish.
If you shut the token on HostA, the circuits will drop and after 20 minutes
the peers will disconnect. You can drop this timer if that is too long. Also
as I have specified the dest-mac, the peers will only establish for this
address as dynamic peers only establish after all filter rules are met.

Also remember to bit-swap the mac addresses on the host or FEP if you are
doing token to ether as you are statically defining the remote mac and dlsw
will not swap it for you in this instance.

Let me know if you have any trouble using this or have other DLSW questions.
I am at work right now and can't access my home lab, but if you have any
problems I will re-create tonight. This is all from the top of my head at
the moment!!

                Jason,

                Since you have some experience with this, maybe you could
confirm my understanding. Is it true that direct encapsulation over frame
relay is only point-point. I don't mean subif type, but that if you had a
hub and spoke configuration, one could not do direct encap spoke to spoke.
Does that sound right?

                Also, do you have a working config for dynamic peers? I
have not been able to get this to work or to find a good example.

                Thanks
