What was given to you was the network address. A network address of
213.13.134.136 mask 255.255.255.252 will give you 2 valid host addresses:
213.13.134.137 and 213.13.134.138. Your router will use one of these 2
addresses the SP's router will use the other. Which one that you should use
will depend on your SP's addressing scheme and it should have been
communicated to you. If you entered 213.13.134.136 as the router's host
address and gave it the 255.255.255.252 mask you would be notified of the
"bad mask".

Subject: Help with frame-relay [7:11499]
Hello world
I am trying to get a frame-relay connection up and running.
I was given an IP and a subnet by my SP (213.13.134.136 255.255.255.252).
However the mask given is "useless" (router tells me: bad mask)
Ok, I gave it a "lower" mask ( something tells me this is obviously not
going to work).I can see my frame-relay map, I get the correct lmi (using
debug commands), everything seems in order (except that mask).
Problem : I cannot ping my SP4s directly connected router.
(is because of the incorrect mask?, or is there something else faulty?)
