Re: Frame Relay and Policy Routing

The specific configuration is set up so that there are two subinterfaces.
The first goes to a point-to-point (mandated in the lab) connection to one
remote spoke router. The second subinterface connects via multipoint to two
other spokes, with all these spoke interfaces sharing the same subnet with
this second subinterface. The target LAN actually connects these two other
spoke routers on another subnet.
In configuring the second subinterface, I can either specify both dlci's for
the remote spoke routers (interface-dlci) and rely on inarp OR I could use
frame relay map to manually associate the IPs for those remote spokes to the
DLCIs. Using the latter, I can substitute an address for the target LAN to
get the request to "work", but of course, I cannot then access that spoke
router directly anymore. Of course, it is not the right solution.
