The following command line displays an example for a VLAN:
Mapped Addresses
Mapped peer IP/IPX addresses are very similar to static addresses in that InArp is disabled for Frame Relay and the
address negotiated in IPCP/IPXCP is ignored for PPP.
Mapped addresses are most useful when you do not want to specify the peer address using the interface create
command. This would be the case if the interface is created for a VLAN and there are many peer addresses on the
VLAN. If any of the peers on the VLAN do not support InArp or IPCP/IPXCP, then use a mapped address to configure
the peer address.
The following command lines display two examples for Frame Relay:
The following command line displays two examples for PPP:
Dynamic Addresses
If the peer IP/IPX address is unknown, you do not need to specify it when creating the interface. When in the Frame
Relay environment, the peer address will be automatically discovered via InArp. Similarly, the peer address will be
automatically discovered via IPCP/IPXCP negotiation in a PPP environment.
The following command lines display examples for a port and a VC:
The following command line displays an example for a VLAN:
