ICND v Configuring Subinterfaces Point-to-point –Subinterfaces act like leased lines. –Each point-to-point subinterface requires its own subnet. –Point-to-point is applicable to hub-and-spoke topologies. Multipoint –Subinterfaces act like NBMA networks, so they do not resolve the split horizon issues. –Multipoint can save address space because it uses a single subnet. –Multipoint is applicable to partial mesh and full mesh topologies.

© 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. ICND v Summary A basic Frame Relay configuration assumes that there are one or more physical interfaces, and that LMI and Inverse ARP are running on the remote routers. In this type of environment, the LMI notifies the router about the available DLCIs. When the remote router does not support Inverse ARP or when you want to control routed broadcast traffic, you must statically define the address-to-DLCI table. You can configure Frame Relay subinterfaces in either point-to-point or multipoint mode. After you configure Frame Relay, you can verify that the connections are active using the available show commands. The debug frame-relay lmi command can be used to determine whether the router and the Frame Relay switch are sending and receiving LMI packets properly. The show interfaces serial command can be used to troubleshoot some common Frame Relay network problems.
