RE: No frame-relay inverse-arp

Hi Djerk,

Actually that command will not turn off inverse-arp replies; it only
turns off inverse-arp requests. Your router is functioning correctly.
The only way to get rid of it completely is to turn off inverse-arp on
both ends; that way no one will make a request of the other, so no one
will reply. I don't believe there is a way to turn off replies.

Thanks,

Brian

I'm using 12.2(4)10b on 36040's. turning inverse-arp off does not
prevent the router from replying to in-arp requests. (debugged and the
darn things will still send)

Afaik disabling inverse-arp should make a router blind and mute to the
whole inverse-arp thing. I'm about to pull my hair out...

I have R1 - 5 with full mesh F/R between them
- R4 & 5 PtP using main interfaces and no frame-relay inverse-arp at
both ends
- R3 is a hub with R1 & 2 as spokes (main interfaces as well)
- R1 - 3 should use in-arp

A. R1 - 3 advertise their addresses to R4 & 5 via in-arp, I can't change
this behaviour. If allowed I could only disable in-arp per dlci.
B. R1 - 3 learn R4 * 5's addresses (should not happen inho with in-arp
turned off (at the source).

R4 & R5 (diff IP dlci):
