FR and VTP q

aleksf

Hello, folks!

Just curious if it is possible to implement any kind of alternative to frame-relay route command to route between DLCI's.

What is the difference between VTP v1 and v2 transparent mode?

I don't understand this question. Can you give an example?

VTPv1 transparent mode won't pass on VTP advertisements while VTPv2 transparent mode will.

Sorry. Going to state it alit bit differently.

Is the frame relay route only available command to route between DLCI's in a Hub-and-Spoke topology?

When i execute sh frame route i get the DLCI switching table as it was produced using the frame-rel route command. Is there any way for a FR switch to produce a similar table dynamically?

If I understand you, instead of PVCs you want to use SVCs. You would then use frame-relay svc, but SVCs are different than PVCs and are really not used in the real world. I don't think you are going to find much documentation on SVCs.

aleksf,

Inverse-Arp is enabled by default. The command is

frame-relay interface-dlci <dlci #>

Now why would anyone want to send unnecessary packets across WAN ($$) links?

Isn't frame-relay route a frame relay switch command? You use frame-relay map to map your DLCIs to your next hop protocol addresses.

This should give you a little more info.
