Re: Inverse-ARP with no LMI

Bob you were right, as pointed out in my earlier reply I had not
disabled LMI on the DCE side.
However picking up on your note about the "interface-dlci" command on
the interface, surely if LMI
is disabled and you want things to work then you must use this command
to specify the DLCI?
