How should a router that is being used in a Frame Relay network be configured to keep split horizon issues from preventing routing updates?
Options
A. Configure a separate subinterface for each PVC with a unique DLCI and subnet assigned to the subinterface.
B. Configure each Frame Relay circuit as a point-to-point line to support multicast and broadcast traffic.
C. Configure many subinterfaces in the same subnet.
D. Configure a single subinterface to establish multiple PVC connections to multiple remote router interfaces.
Correct Answer
Configure a separate subinterface for each PVC with a unique DLCI and subnet assigned to the subinterface.
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.

1. You need to subnet a network that has 5 subnets, each with at least 16 hosts. Which classful subnet mask would you use?
You need 5 subnets, each with at least 16 hosts. The mask 255.255.255.240 provides 16 subnets with 14 hosts-this will not work. The mask 255.255.255.224 provides 8 subnets, each with 30 hosts. This is the best answer.
2. Which command is required for connectivity in a Frame Relay network if Inverse ARP is not operational?
If you have a router in your Frame Relay network that does not support IARP, you must create Frame Relay maps on your router, which provide known DLCI-to-IP address mappings.
3. What VTP mode allows you to change VLAN information on the switch?
A CIDR address of /19 is 255.255.224.0. This is a Class B address, so that is only 3 subnet bits, but it provides 13 host bits, or 8 subnets, each with 8,190 hosts.
5. Which command will allow you to see real-time translations on your router?
Any secondary route to a remote network is considered a feasible successor, and those routes are only found in the topology table and used as backup routes in case of primary route failure. You can see the topology table with the
show ip eigrp topology command.
