Hi All,
I have had this question which has been bothering me for a while and I
suddenly realised that I can ask it to groupstudy :).
What is best practice with regards to unused active DLCI's on a configured
main interface. These can cause bothersome error messages and even routing
problems due to broadcast packets.
The options as I see it are
1) Configure a multipoint subinterface and place all the DLCI's there.
This I believe may be excluded by a requirement not change interface
encapsulation . This is a solution mentioned by Brian Dennis but I am
bothered by a requirement not to change encapsulation/type.
2) Use PPP over frame-relay, also excluded by a requirement not change
interface encapsulation.
3) Create a frame-relay map-class that will shut down the PCV if no
keepalives are received and ensure the other side isn't sending any
keepalives. (Very messy!)
4) Ignore this issue unless you see a specific problem arising from the
broadcasts and then ask the proctor.
I wonder how you all deal with this problem.
Thanks
Daniel Niasoff
