Configuring the DLCI to IP Mapping
When connected to a Frame Relay network, Business Communications Manager uses Frame
Relay INARP (Inverse Address Resolution Protocol) messaging to request the next hop protocol
address for a given DLCI. If the other end of the connection does not support INARP messaging,
there can be a communication failure because the mapping of which DLCI to use to reach a
particular IP address is not known.
The DLCI to IP Mapping feature solves this problem by providing static address mapping of the
DLCI to remote IP address.
Note: DLCI to IP Mapping feature is available only on the WAN1 and WAN2 interfaces.
This feature is not available on the UTWAN interface.
