Perceptive - I did have some mistakes in what I pasted. I had it completely wrong, inverse-arp was disabled AFTER it had already done its job.
I reconfigured to what I think is correct now on R6 (R4 mirrors this): interface Serial0/1/0 ip address 142.42.64.6 255.255.224.0 encapsulation frame-relay clock rate 2000000 frame-relay map ip 142.42.64.4 604 broadcast frame-relay map ip 142.42.64.6 604 broadcast no frame-relay inverse-arp end R6(config-if)#do ping 142.42.64.4 Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 142.42.64.4, timeout is 2 seconds: !!!!! Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/2/4 ms R6(config-if)#do ping 142.42.64.6 Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 142.42.64.6, timeout is 2 seconds: !!!!! Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 4/4/8 ms Now I can ping myself though - so...yeah. I think the fact that I had it wrong (and thought it was wrong) but that inverse-arp had already done it's thing and got things working for me was throwing me off (easy to do with frame). My configuration uses a 2821 as a frame switch. The clock rate command just shows up in the default interface configuration for some reason. My frame switch has the following configuration: frame-relay switching interface Serial0/0/0 description Int to R2 no ip address encapsulation frame-relay cdp enable frame-relay intf-type dce frame-relay route 204 interface Serial0/1/0 402 frame-relay route 205 interface Serial0/2/0 502 frame-relay route 206 interface Serial0/3/0 602 frame-relay route 214 interface Serial0/1/0 412 frame-relay route 215 interface Serial0/2/0 512 frame-relay route 216 interface Serial0/3/0 612 frame-relay route 224 interface Serial0/1/0 422 frame-relay route 225 interface Serial0/2/0 522 frame-relay route 226 interface Serial0/3/0 622 ! interface Serial0/1/0 description int to R4 no ip address encapsulation frame-relay clock rate 2000000 cdp enable frame-relay intf-type dce frame-relay route 402 interface Serial0/0/0 204 frame-relay route 405 interface Serial0/2/0 504 frame-relay route 406 interface Serial0/3/0 604 frame-relay route 412 interface Serial0/0/0 214 frame-relay route 415 interface Serial0/2/0 514 frame-relay route 416 interface Serial0/3/0 614 frame-relay route 422 interface Serial0/0/0 224 frame-relay route 425 interface Serial0/2/0 524 frame-relay route 426 interface Serial0/3/0 624 ! interface Serial0/2/0 description int to R5 no ip address encapsulation frame-relay cdp enable frame-relay intf-type dce frame-relay route 502 interface Serial0/0/0 205 frame-relay route 504 interface Serial0/1/0 405 frame-relay route 506 interface Serial0/3/0 605 frame-relay route 512 interface Serial0/0/0 215 frame-relay route 514 interface Serial0/1/0 415 frame-relay route 516 interface Serial0/3/0 615 frame-relay route 522 interface Serial0/0/0 225 frame-relay route 524 interface Serial0/1/0 425 frame-relay route 526 interface Serial0/3/0 625 ! interface Serial0/3/0 description int to R6 no ip address encapsulation frame-relay cdp enable frame-relay intf-type dce frame-relay route 602 interface Serial0/0/0 206 frame-relay route 604 interface Serial0/1/0 406 frame-relay route 605 interface Serial0/2/0 506 frame-relay route 612 interface Serial0/0/0 216 frame-relay route 614 interface Serial0/1/0 416 frame-relay route 615 interface Serial0/2/0 516 frame-relay route 622 interface Serial0/0/0 226 frame-relay route 624 interface Serial0/1/0 426 frame-relay route 625 interface Serial0/2/0 526 Magical connectivity is bad. -Mike -----Original Message----- From: Matt Hill [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, August 15, 2009 4:35 PM To: Bryan Bartik Cc: Michael Lipsey; [email protected] Subject: Re: [OSL | CCIE_RS] Simple Frame-Relay Question Hi Michael, I'm curious as to how that is working.... Did you no shut the interface prior to entering "encapsulation frame-relay" or after? Do you have dynamic frame-relay maps? (show frame-relay map). Otherwise you don't have an l2-l3 mapping. Also, you have clock rate xxxx is this back to back or going via a frame switch? Clock rate sets the interface type to dce and is superfluous if you are going via a switch. If its back to back you should also use frame-relay intf-type dce at one end (not necessarily the serial dce end, but its a good idea to keep it consistent) To summarise: I think you did "no shut" then did "encapsulation frame-relay" and then inverse-arp kicked in and learned all the dynamic l2-l3 mappings. After that you put in "no frame-relay inverse-arp" but by that stage it had already done its trick. Afterthought: I also see your "do ping" is from dlci config mode. Did you enter dlci information? There isnt any shown in the config. If you did then inverse-arp doent happen, but also other things will go wrong with the ip address on the physical interface rather than on the dlci. I'm not trying to be a pain but if your frame-relay is cactus then so is your ospf and you will see ridiculous neighbours pop up on dlcis that they shouldnt be and there begins the world of hurt...
