Address Resolution

Address resolution maps a remote network address such as an IP address to a local

DLCI number. For most protocols that you conﬁgure for a Frame Relay interface,

the router performs address resolution automatically. However, IP, AppleTalk, and

VINES

use the address resolution protocol (ARP). ARP dynamically generates an

ARP table of addresses and DLCI numbers by sending messages back and forth to

each network node to gather address information. This process increases

broadcast trafﬁc across the network.

To reduce broadcast trafﬁc for all protocols, you can conﬁgure static routes and

adjacent hosts at the protocol level. This eliminates the need for the router to

perform address resolution. To reduce trafﬁc associated speciﬁcally with IP and

VINES address resolution, you can conﬁgure the address resolution protocol

Inverse ARP. Refer to the appropriate protocol manual for more information about

static routes, adjacent hosts, and Inverse ARP.

Table 2-1 lists how the router handles address resolution for each protocol and

whether or not you can reduce broadcast trafﬁc by modifying the address

resolution conﬁguration.
