Re: Frame-Relay dlci Confusion

Dear Zeeshan,

First of all, If I disable inverse-arp on R1 and R2, how will I be able to
learn DLCIs dynamically?

Case 1: If the topology is full mesh, means there is a direct connection
(PVC) between R1 and R2, In this case "show frame-relay pvc" will provide
the information of two PVCs (active) on each router.

Case 2: If R1 can only get to R2 via R3 (Hub) ,then on R1 and R2 , you will
get only one PVC info (towards R3) by "sh fram pvc".

Note: In both cases, you may found "Inactive" PVCs (got from FR switch)
whose mappings (DLCI-IP) are not defined.

HTH
