Frame Relay & Virtual Templates

I am working on a lab where I am asked to configure ppp over frame relay - a
seemingly simple task.

 

The issue I have is that I am unable to ping the local IP configured under
the virtual template of each router. I have configured no authentication
because I need to see proper ip connectivity before I add extra layers of
complexity to the requirement later on.

 

My concern is that if I can't ping the local IP, then I will have an issue
when it comes time to grade for "full IP reachability".

 

Here are the pertinent configurations for each router named R1 & R2.

 

R1

interface Serial0/0

 no ip address

 encapsulation frame-relay

 frame-relay interface-dlci 102 ppp Virtual-Template1

 no frame-relay inverse-arp

 

interface Virtual-Template1

 ip address 163.1.12.1 255.255.255.0

 

R2

interface Serial0

 no ip address

 encapsulation frame-relay

 frame-relay interface-dlci 201 ppp Virtual-Template1

 no frame-relay inverse-arp

 

interface Virtual-Template1

 ip address 163.1.12.2 255.255.255.0

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------

R1#ping 163.1.12.2

 

Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 163.1.12.2, timeout is 2 seconds:

!!!!!

Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 4/7/8 ms

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

R1#ping 163.1.12.1

 

Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 163.1.12.1, timeout is 2 seconds:

.....

Success rate is 0 percent (0/5)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

R2#ping 163.1.12.1

 

Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 163.1.12.1, timeout is 2 seconds:

!!!!!

Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 8/8/8 ms

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

R2#ping 163.1.12.2

 

Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 163.1.12.2, timeout is 2 seconds:

.....

Success rate is 0 percent (0/5)

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks,

Joe Gagznos
