RE: Frame-relay interface-dlci and Inv ARP

        Yes, you can use the "frame-relay interface-dlci" command under
a multipoint subinterface to assign the circuit, and then allow
inverse-arp to resolve the layer 3 to layer 2 address. The problem in
your configuration is that you have disabled frame relay inverse-arp
with the "no frame-relay inverse-arp" command. Take the following
configuration:

R1#
interface Serial0/0
 encapsulation frame-relay
!
interface Serial0/0.1 multipoint
 ip address 10.0.0.1 255.0.0.0
 frame-relay interface-dlci 102

R2#
interface Serial0/0
 encapsulation frame-relay
!
interface Serial0/0.1 multipoint
 ip address 10.0.0.2 255.0.0.0
 frame-relay interface-dlci 201

        Note that there are no static mappings configured, however
inverse-arp has not been disabled on the multipoint subinterfaces.
Therefore, output from the "show frame-relay map" command will show that
dynamic resolution has occurred through frame relay inverse-arp:

R1#show frame-relay map
Serial0/0.1 (up): ip 10.0.0.2 dlci 102(0x66,0x1860), dynamic,
              broadcast,, status defined, active

R2#show frame-relay map
Serial0/0.1 (up): ip 10.0.0.1 dlci 201(0xC9,0x3090), dynamic,
              broadcast,, status defined, active

R1#ping 10.0.0.2

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.0.0.2, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 4/6/8 ms
