Is there a reason you are not using a frame-relay map statement on R2?

Do not rely on inverse-arp in the CCIE lab. ALWAYS use frame-relay map
statements on physical interfaces or multipoint subinterfaces if the lab
permits. Properly configured frame-relay map statements work 100% of the
time whereas inverse-arp does not work 100% of the time.

Thanks Mike:
Yeah, I do have enca frame-realy configured otherwise I can not
configure
frame relay related command under subinterfaces.
I just reset up a network just with 2 routers and fr switch, then
eververy
thing works fine. I just don't know what happens here.
Did anybody see this kind of problem, and how to solve this problem?
like
reload the switch, shut and no shut the interfaces.?

Thanks
Wei
