FR Encap

r4 and r5 connected to the frame-relay switch:

r4(s0/0) -- fr-sw -- (s0/0)r5

r4 uses fr encapsulation of cisco:

r4#sh int s0/0 | in Encap
  Encapsulation FRAME-RELAY, loopback not set
r4#sh run int s0/0

interface Serial0/0
 ip address 45.1.1.4 255.255.255.0
 encapsulation frame-relay
 no ip route-cache cef
 no ip route-cache
 ip ospf network non-broadcast
 ip ospf priority 0
 frame-relay map ip 45.1.1.5 405
 no frame-relay inverse-arp
end

r4#sh ip int brie | i up
Serial0/0 45.1.1.4 YES manual up up

r5 uses frame-relay encapsulation of ietf:

r5#sh int s0/0 | in Encap
  Encapsulation FRAME-RELAY IETF, loopback not set
r5#sh run int s0/0

interface Serial0/0
 ip address 45.1.1.5 255.255.255.0
 encapsulation frame-relay IETF
 no ip route-cache cef
 no ip route-cache
 ip ospf network non-broadcast
 frame-relay map ip 45.1.1.4 504 IETF
 no frame-relay inverse-arp
end

r5#sh ip int brief | in up
Serial0/0 45.1.1.5 YES manual up up

From everything I have ever read these two shouldn't be able to talk
as encapsulation must match between cpe's, but they can:

r4#ping 45.1.1.5

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 45.1.1.5, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 60/60/64 ms

I have shut the interfaces in every way I can think of and then saved and
reloaded them both and I still have the same result. I cant figure out why
they can still talk.

Also anyone know a command similar to `debug ip packet dump` for frame
so you could put the frame into a analyzer?

Thanks
