When setting up Frame Relay for point-to-point subinterfaces, which of Answer: Option C
the following must not be configured? Explanation:
If you have a Cisco router on one side of a Frame Relay network and a
A. The Frame Relay encapsulation on the physical interface
non-Cisco router on the other side, you would need to use the Frame
Relay encapsulation type of IETF. The default is Cisco encapsulation,
B. The local DLCI on each subinterface
which means that a Cisco router must be on both sides of the Frame

16. How should a router that is being used in a Frame Relay network be
configured to keep split horizon issues from preventing routing
updates?
Configure a separate subinterface for each PVC with a unique
A.
DLCI and subnet assigned to the subinterface.

Configure each Frame Relay circuit as a point-to-point line to

B.
support multicast and broadcast traffic.

C. Configure many subinterfaces in the same subnet.

Configure a single subinterface to establish multiple PVC

D.
connections to multiple remote router interfaces.
Answer & Explanation
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
If you have a serial port configured with multiple DLCIs connected to
multiple remote sites, split horizon rules, stop route updates received
on an interface from being sent out the same interface. By creating
subinterfaces for each PVC, you can avoid the split horizon issues when
using Frame Relay.
