Hi Brajesh,

I think I got what you mean. The following two configs of R4 should be
functionally equivalent, i.e. to enable broadcast on DLCI 402 without
sending redundant broadcast traffic :

!
int s 0/0
 frame-relay map ip 10.10.10.2 402 broadcast
 frame-relay map ip 10.10.10.5 402
!

Or

!
int s 0/0
 frame-relay map ip 10.10.10.2 402
 frame-relay map ip 10.10.10.5 402 broadcast
!

I still need further clarification about your statement "...you are just
sending double broadcast traffic towards hub router". Say R4 has more than
one frame map statements with the "broadcast" keyword and it runs EIGRP over
the FR interface. Is it gonna send two copies of whatever EIGRP packets
(destined to 224.0.0.10) towards R2?

To quote you " In lab they may have mentioned something like "don't
duplicate broadcast traffic when sending data from spoke" ", do the
following two statements mean the same thing?

(1) Do not send any redundant broadcast traffic from the spokes to the hub.

(2) Ensure that Spoke1 and Spoke2 can ping each other's FR interface, but
this config should be performed such that Hub does not receive redundant
routing updates.

Thank you.
B.Rgds,
Lim TS
