6.3 LMI Features
6.3.3 Frame Relay mapping
The router next-hop address determined from the routing table must be resolved to a Frame Relay DLCI, as shown in the Figure. The resolution is done through a data structure called a Frame Relay map. The routing table is then used to supply the next-hop protocol address or the DLCI for outgoing traffic. This data structure can be statically configured in the router, or the Inverse ARP feature can be used for automatic setup of the map.
