which <strong>to</strong> exchange OSPF messages. The neighbor is specified with <strong>the</strong> OSPF<br />

configuration subcommand :<br />

It is possible <strong>to</strong> fool point-<strong>to</strong>-point and multipoint frame-relay interfaces in<strong>to</strong> acting<br />

like broadcast media by configuring <strong>the</strong>m as <br />

interface types. Provided that each link is directly connected, this approach will work<br />

fine. With this scenario, only routers with non-zero priority values need <strong>to</strong> have<br />

routers specified.<br />

In situations where Frame Relay is being used in a point-<strong>to</strong>-multipoint scenario, <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>network</strong> type is specified. Under <strong>the</strong>se<br />

circumstances, neighbor routers are not used. A point-<strong>to</strong>-multipoint scenario uses a<br />

single IP address space, creating effectively a virtual subnet, where <strong>the</strong> multipoint<br />

Frame Relay router acts as a traffic bridge between disconnected point-<strong>to</strong>-point<br />

routers (see Figure 10.3).
