Re: The old favourite - to map or not to map....

For those that have the book, the question and diag are on p77. Lab 2.

For those that dont: Hub and spoke with R4 as the hub.

R1 has DLCI 101 and 110
R4 has DLCI 100 and 102
R6 has DLCI 104 and 103

Mappings are
101 - 100
110 - 104
103 - 102

I hope you can follow this, the question is:

- Config the FR portion of the network as shown in figure x and ensure that
DLCIs 110 and 104 between R1 and R6 are not used.
- Use p2p subinterfaces

The solution shows IP address on p2p and "no fram inverse-arp" on the main
interface.

The eventual solution uses PPP on the p2p interfaces with a virtual
interface but I mention it here only as reference, I do not think it matters
as to why we are using "no fr inv-arp" on main interface.

R1 (ser0/1 DLCI 101) to R4 (ser0/0 DLCI 100)
R1 (ser0/1 DLCI 110) to R6 (ser5/0 DLCI 104)
R6 (ser5/0 DLCI 103) to R4 (ser0/0 DLCI
