IBM SC30-3681-08 IP protocol, IPX protocol, AppleTalk Phase 2 protocol, DN protocol, Host Number

Con®guring Frame Relay Interfaces

nor ARP is an option, or for other reasons such as security. Adding protocol name and address mappings (static ARP) is less efficient than Inverse ARP or ARP.

v Inverse ARP is the preferred, efficient method because of dynamic address mapping with no broadcasts.

v ARP is recommended if Inverse ARP is not an option. It is less efficient than Inverse ARP because it uses address broadcast and mappings are relearned at regular intervals.

This parameter prompts you for different information depending on the type
of protocol that you are adding.
Example:
add protocol-address
Protocol name or number [0]?
IP protocol:
IP Address [0.0.0.0]?
Circuit Number or name [16]?
IPX protocol:
Host Number (in hex)[]?
Circuit Number or name [16]?
AppleTalk Phase 2 protocol:
Network Number (1-65279) []?
Node Number (1-253) []?
Circuit Number or name[16]?
DN protocol:
Node address [0.0]?
Circuit Number or name[16]?
Protocol name or number
De®nes the name or number of the protocol that you are adding. If
you should specify an unsupported protocol, the system will prompt
you with the error message:
Unknown protocol name, try again
For example, you may have erroneously speci®ed one of the
following:
Prot#	Name
0	IP
4	DN
7	IPX
22	AP2

To see a list of supported protocol types, type ? at the Protocol name or number [IP]? prompt.

IP Address

De®nes the 32-bit Internet address in dotted-decimal notation of the remote IP host.

Host Number

De®nes the 48-bit IPX node address of the remote IPX host.

Network Number

De®nes the AppleTalk Phase 2 network number of the remote

AppleTalk host.
