RES: Frame-relay again

I have to disagree. If you disable LMI on BOTH sides of the PVC, there Will be traffic running through. I tell this by Field experience. Nortel routers used to come with LMI disabled by default, and worked fine, as far as my experience goes. All you have to do is statically map the DLCI on the interface.

Carlos,

Our discussion here has nothing to do with Switch-Switch
connection/communication or Route reflectors or the NAP so why confuse this
gentlman. We are disabling the LMIs on the router and NOT the switch.

It was a very basic question, you have R1 connecting to R2 through frame
switch, if you disable LMIs on one end let's say R1, the status of the PVC
will go into "inactive" state on R2.

R1 will NOT get ANY DLCI information from the switch, even if you try to
ping R1 from R2, R1 will NOT see any packets coming from R2 (Through its
DLCI), so that tells me that the Switch is NOT forwarding packets to R1.
Even if you configure a frame-relay map statically on R1 for R2's IP
address.
