Hi there.

It means that if I configure 2 routers like the following I should have adjacen
cies?

Router 1
!
interface serial 2/0
 ip add 155.10.123.1 255.255.255.0
 encap frame-relay
 frame-relay map ip 155.10.123.2 102 broadcast
!
router eigrp 12
 neighbor 155.10.123.1 serial 2/0
!

Router 2
!
interface serial 2/0
 ip add 155.10.123.1 255.255.255.0
 encap frame-relay
 frame-relay map ip 155.10.123.1 201 broadcast
!
router eigrp 12
 neighbor 155.10.123.2 serial 2/0
!

Are those basic configs ok or did I miss anything?

        Okay, I tried this and this is what I found:
        
        Side 1 does not have a paasive interface or a neighbor. Debug shows EI
GRP
        as multicasts:
        
        2d00h: IP: s=155.100.15.1 (Ethernet0/0), d=224.0.0.10, len 60, rcvd 2
        2d00h: IP: s=155.100.15.5 (local), d=224.0.0.10 (Ethernet0/0), len 60,
        sending broad/multicast
        2d00h: IP: s=155.100.56.5 (local), d=224.0.0.10 (Serial1/0), len 60,
        sending bro
        
        
        Side 2 has a neighbor statement but does not have a passive interface:
        
        10w1d: IP: s=155.100.6.6 (local), d=224.0.0.10 (Loopback0), len 60,
        sending broad/multicast
        10w1d: IP: s=155.100.6.6 (Loopback0), d=224.0.0.10, len 60, rcvd 2
        10w1d: IP: s=155.100.56.6 (local), d=155.100.56.5 (Serial0), len 60,
        sending
        
        Notice how EIGRP is multicast over the non-neighbor interfaces and unic
ast
        over the neighbor interface.
        
        
        Now, side 2 with passive interface on serial 0:
        
        10w1d: IP: s=155.100.56.5 (Serial0), d=224.0.0.10, len 60, rcvd 2
        10w1d: IP: s=155.100.56.5 (Serial0), d=224.0.0.10, len 60, rcvd 2
        10w1d: IP: s=155.100.6.6 (local), d=224.0.0.10 (Loopback0), len 60,
        sending broad/multicast
        
        It's receiving multicast hellos from 155.100.56.5, but is not sending a
ny
        packets out that interface.
        
        
        Conclusion:
        
        Neighbor causes the EIGRP packets to use unicast.
        
        Passive-interface works like OSPF and prevents hellos from being
        propagated on the interface in question. THus, adjacencies will not fo
rm.
