Case Projects
Case Project 1

The network administrators will have to decide what bandwidth requirements they have. They
should also record the DLCI to remote IP mappings for each PVC. Other considerations include

CCNA Guide to Cisco Networking, Fourth Edition
Chapter 11 Solutions

whether Inverse ARP will be enabled, what LMI encapsulation will be used, and whether the
connections will be point-to-point or multipoint.

Case Project 2

If the network is a multipoint configuration, all IP addresses for the connections between Austin,
Dallas, San Antonio, and Houston will be on the same subnet. A multipoint configuration is subject
to the Split Horizon rule because the multiple PVCs are connected to a single interface or
subinterface. Only one IP network number or subnet number is required. If the network is a point-
to-point configuration, then all IP addresses for the connections will be on different networks or
subnets. A point-to-point configuration will not be subject to the Split Horizon rule because the
single serial interface is divided into multiple subinterfaces, or multiple physical interfaces are
used. Point-to-point configurations do not support Inverse ARP.

Case Project 3

You can use the show int s#, show fr pvc, show fr map, and show fr lmi
commands to monitor the connection. There could be problems with the lmi type, the configured
bandwidth, the frame relay map, split horizon, or possibly the frame relay encapsulation type.

Case Project 4

It is possible to run HDLC and PPP on the serial interfaces of most routers. The paragraph
should focus on the fact that each vendors implementation of HDLC is proprietary so it would not
be a good choice for connectivity. The paragraph should then discuss how PPP is an open
standard and would be a good choice to use for connectivity between Cisco and non-Cisco
routers.
