If you're using physical interfaces and there are two spokes in the network then two frame relay map statements on each router should fix this problem. The issue is that RTRA can't ping the interface on RTRC because it has no map for it. If you turn on debug ip packet you'll see 'encapsulation failed'. Warning: Don't use that command in a production network.
Anyway, on each spoke, add a map statement for the IP address of the other spoke. I'm assuming you have one configured for the hub. If not, add one because you're relying on inverse ARP to map the address of the hub. Once you add an explicit frame relay map statement, inverse ARP is disabled for that protocol. Things will still work until you reboot your router. :-) John >>> "Chuck Larrieu" 1/15/02 3:34:27 PM >>> split horizon is NEVER an issue with OSPF. Nor with BGP If you are using the physical interfaces in all cases, and you are trying to ping the directly connected interface of the other side, your pings will fail. This is true of all routing protocols. At least according to the extensive experimentation and resulting observation when I did these tests last September. I've never brought it up as a topic of discussion because I could not come up with a conceptual framework that explained the phenomenon. I do have a note indicating that static maps must exist for all directly connected addresses to overcome this problem. betcha if you use an extended ping, and use something other than the directly connected interface as your source address it works fine.
