Frame Relay Static Map

timothykerr · ‎09-02-2007

Hey all,

I have a testbed environment at home. I have two 2611s and a 1601 connected to a 3620 (w/ a NM-4A/S), acting as a frame relay switch. I am trying to configure static maping between the three, so they all would be fully meshed. (See attached picture). It does not work. I cannot ping from one router to the other. When I delete the static maps and enable inverse-arp on all 3 routers, it works like a champ. I cleared the inversearp entries on all three routers. Routers 1&2 (2611s) are running IOS12.3, R3 (1601) is running 12.0. I have included a txt file with the configs and show output. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I haev banging my head against the wall for the past 3 days with this. Everything I have research on the web has shown that this should work I believe.

I am embarassed to say that the problem is fixed. It was a cabling issue. I had Routers 1 and 2 mixed up. I was configuring R1 as if it was R2 and vice versa. So it would work with dynamic mapping, but not with my static maps. I can't believe it took me 3 days to find that! I humbly apolgize for wasting anyone's time here.
