[j-nsp] PtP link over FR

[Scott Morris]

There is no ARP in frame-relay.  More specifically, on a P2P subinterface,
there's no mapping either.  The assumption is that if it's not MY address it
must be yours.  So as long as you believe the other side is within the
defined subnet, then you're good.

If you have 10.1.1.1/24 on one side, and 10.1.1.2/27 on the other, they will
still talk to each other just fine.  At least until you try to run ospf or
something that cares about the netmask!

Let me guess, on Cisco Router A you got an ARP entry for Cisco Router B's
address when you put a Cisco router in the middle, as the Cisco router has
proxy-arp enabled by default.

Or to put it more clearly the IP addresses used FR p2p pvc is a subset of
the IP addresses used on the link between Cisco Router A and Juniper Router.

Or on Cisco router A you have a static route without a next-hop address to
the IP subnet used on the FR link

In either case it's a mis configuration, that gets 'saved'/'hidden' by the
fact proxy-arp is enabled by default on the Cisco router.
