Tim, The default network type is NBMA for NBMA-type interfaces (e.g. frame relay) and also for p-t-mp subinterfaces.
As for broadcast, this implies a fully meshed environment, which is *logically* equivelant to a broadcast environment such as ethernet - assuming of course that information is duplicated to every recipient). Remember that a DR and BDR are elected in this type of environment just like ethernet. I have to look this stuff up every couple of months because it is pretty confusing. The terminology isn't exactly intuitive. Scott Tim Booth wrote: > > Hello, > > As I understand it, Frame-Relay is a NBMA technology.
