different kinds of frame-relay connections, dynamic, static, broadcast

There can be differnet kinds of frame-relay connections. You can lookup the status with “show frame-relay map” to see what kind of conenction you have.

• dynamic mapping – if frame-relay uses inverse arp to dynamically map the dlci with the ip address, it’s a dynamic mapping
• static mapping – if you use a map statement to statically map the given dlci to an ip address, this is called a static connection.
• broadcast – pon point-to-point links there a “frame-relay interface-dlci” statement can “setup” mapping. So this would show up as neither dynamic or static, than broadcast.
