RE: no arp frame-relay

        The "no arp frame-relay" command has no effect on Frame Relay
Inverse-ARP. The "no frame-relay inverse-arp" command stops the router
from requesting Inverse-ARP of the remote end. It does not stop the
router from replying to inverse-arp.

        Configure this simple test on the command line and see what
happens:

R1--DLCI 102--Frame_Cloud--DLCI 201--R2

R1:
interface Serial0
 ip address 10.0.0.1 255.0.0.0
 encapsulation frame-relay
 
R2:
interface Serial0
 ip address 10.0.0.1 255.0.0.0
 encapsulation frame-relay
 no frame-relay inverse-arp

        Check connectivity along with the "show frame-relay map" output.
What do you see and why?

HTH,
