RE: Frame-Relay HELP with static mappings :(

That was a great explanation!

I have a LMI related question that kind of dove-tails
with this.

when I "debug frame-relay lmi" on one of my prod
routers at work, I see all of the PVC info for
"interface x" with status and bandwidth etc..

When I do it at home I get bandwidth of 0. What LMI
type do I need to get the bandwidth to show up? or is
there something else I need to do on my frame switch??

Thanks,
Barney
