This would work and satisfy the requirement as far as I can see, however there is obviously more commands involved with this approach.
Everyone else agree?

Lab 6 R6<->R9 links Hi, I came up with a different solution for the missing LMI and keep-alive on the interlinks between R6 and R9. Instead of using "no keepalive", you can also make one side of the links a FR switch. For example, if I do: interface MFR1 no ip address frame-relay intf-type dce <========= ! interface MFR1.69 point-to-point ip address 150.100.69.9 255.255.255.0 frame-relay interface-dlci 69 ! interface MFR1.96 point-to-point ip address 150.100.96.9 255.255.255.0 frame-relay interface-dlci 96 then R9 will act as the FR switch, and R6 and R9 will exchange LMI status messages; and you do not have the problem that the PVC's don't become active: R6# sh frame pvc | i ACTIVE.*MFR DLCI = 69, DLCI USAGE = LOCAL, PVC STATUS = ACTIVE, INTERFACE = MFR1.69 DLCI = 96, DLCI USAGE = LOCAL, PVC STATUS = ACTIVE, INTERFACE = MFR1.96 R9#sh frame pvc | i ACT DLCI = 69, DLCI USAGE = LOCAL, PVC STATUS = ACTIVE, INTERFACE = MFR1.69 DLCI = 96, DLCI USAGE = LOCAL, PVC STATUS = ACTIVE, INTERFACE = MFR1.96 R9#sh frame map MFR1.96 (up): point-to-point dlci, dlci 96(0x60,0x1800), broadcast status defined, active MFR1.69 (up): point-to-point dlci, dlci 69(0x45,0x1050), broadcast status defined, active Questions: 1) Would this be an acceptable solution (it does not seem to violate any requirements)? 2) Are there any drawbacks to this approach that I'm overlooking?
