Frame Relay query

dredlord

I am reading the route FLG and there is a EIGRP example over a statically mapped frame relay configuration. There is a note saying that the router R1 has a static map to its own s0/0 interface IP address, in order to allow pings to the s0/0 interface IP from router R1. I am a bit confused re this since I have very little experience with frame relay. Why would this be required? wouldn't a interface IP be placed in the routing table automatically as a directly connected route?

Can anyone suggest some good material to brush up on frame relay skills?

So when a router has a layer 3 address on an ethernet interface how does it map this to a layer 2 address?

Now ask yourself the same thing but replace ethernet with frame-relay.
