Define Subinterface Addressing
For point-to-point subinterfaces , the destination is pres umed to be
known and is identified or implied in the frame-relay inter-
face-dlci command. For multipoint subinterfaces, the destinations
can be dynamically resolved through the use of Frame Relay Inverse
ARP or can be statically mapped through the use of the frame-
relay map command.
Addressing on Point-to-Point Subinterfaces
If you specified a point-to-point subinterface in Step 3 unde Define
Frame Relay Subinterfaces, type (in interface configuration mode):
frame-relay interface-dlci
dlci
[
option
]
If you define a subinterface for point-to-point communication, you
cannot reassign the same subinterface number to be used for multi-
point communication without first rebooting the router or access
server. Instead, you can simply avoid using that subinterface numbe
and use a different subinterface number instead.
Examples: Basic Subinterface
In this example, subinterface 1 models a point-to-po int subnet and sub-
interface 2 models a broadcast subnet. For emphasis, the multipoint
keyword is used for serial subinterface 2, even though a subinterface
is multipoint by default.

Addressing on Multipoint Subinterfaces
If you specified a multipoint subinterface in Step 3 under Define
Frame Relay Subinterfaces, perform the tasks in one or both of the
these sections:

point Subinterfaces
zConfigure Static Address Mapping on Multipoint Su bi nterfaces
