All, I am stumped by some behavior I am seeing in my lab when testing frame-relay. I have a 4000 configured as a frame switch; nothing special, just the standard frame-relay route commands necessary to switch the traffic between two other routers (we'll call them rtrA & rtrB, for clarity.) On rtrA, I have configured a physical interface with a map statement. On rtrB, I have configured a P2P sub-interface with a "frame-relay interface dlci xxx" statement (you can't use a map statement on a P2P interface, the router complains). All works fine, and I can ping rtrB and rtrA from rtrA and vice versa (In other words, I can ping my own interface and the remote interface on both routers). Here's where it gets weird...If I delete the P2P interface on rtrB, reload to get rid of the residue, then reconfigure the router with a multipoint sub-interface and a map statement, I can still ping rtrA just fine, but I lose the ability to ping rtrB from rtrB itself (i.e. pinging my own interface) I lose the ability to ping rtrA's interface from rtrA at this point as well. Debug output shows the typical "encapsulation failed" error, but I'm at a loss as to why I can ping the remote router, but not my own interface? Anyone have any thoughts? I'm sure I'm missing something, but for the life of me, I can't figure out what it is. Thanks in advance for any input.
