Note: If not using Cisco IOS 11.2 or later, be sure to configure the LMI type on each
serial interface.

Multipoint subinterfaces on the HubCity router:
Multipoint interface on the hub router is used when hub and spoke routers are on the
same subnet.
Spoke routers must use point-to-point subinterfaces, as there will be no way to map
routes in the routing table with dlcis.
Without point-to-point subinterfaces, all networks will show in the spoke routers
routing tables, but they will not be able to ping interfaces on those networks.
Split Horizon must be disabled on the Hub router.

Notes:
1. A router is not normally used as a Frame Relay switch. This feature is typically sued
in test and demonstration situations.
2. Loopback interface can be used to simulate actual physical interfaces.
3. The Frame Relay switch is acting as the DCE device, which would be a normal
situation.


1. Examine the FrameSwith router:

Ser i al 2 201 Ser i al 0 200 act i ve



2. Each router should see every network and be able to ping each network. On each of
the routers perform the following commands:
