Hi Brian,
thanks.
 
correct, that's what I mean.
 
<previous>
you can test it by using a simple command :
debug frame-relay packet and see why most workbooks suggest no
frame-relay inverse-arp configured on physical FR interface
(if the physical FR interface has an IP address or L3 address).
</previous>
 
what I meant is if the physical FR interface has IP address... :)
and so many DLCIs assigned to it.

Thomwin,
You do not need to disable inverse-ARP on the physical
interfaces if you are using only subinterfaces. This is because the "no
frame-relay inverse-arp" command is not inherited by subinterfaces.

Here are some examples of when inverse-ARP is enabled or disable
based on the configuration itself or based on the use of the "no
frame-relay inverse-arp" command.

**********************************
*** InARP Enabled for DLCI 102 ***

Also it's a myth (aka urban legend ;-) that the "no arp
frame-relay" command stops the replies to inverse-ARP. It doesn't.

Hi Desmond,

you can test it by using a simple command :
debug frame-relay packet and see why most workbooks suggest no
frame-relay inverse-arp configured on physical FR interface.

probably, you will also need this to know : no arp frame-relay

hi there,

anyone can enlighten me on the following?

when to use "no frame-relay inverse arp" and when to specifically use
"no
frame-relay inverse arp ip " ???

Thanks!

Des
