unfortunately for you, it is kinda obvious and a large part of the reason
why you are experiencing these problems.
lmi is a dlci frame status thing for simplicity purposes.
arp'ing is what i think you are thinking about for ip addresses.
are you and isp or just have a large biz wan or just getting started or?
maybe this will help you, me and all that are unable to help you
understand what it is that you need to understand.
what do YOU use for a NETMASK on these WAN links?
also, just fyi, if you hav done your job and understand "your part" of the
networking then you can let the "telco supertechs" do their job in the
frame switches and otherwise... let them do their job and magic happens.
it is even easier when you listen to them and can interpret stuff to make
sure you have done your job as well.
be nice to the telco techs, they will save your butt someday when you are
so tired you cannot see straight.
plus, how do you sleep when stuff is down that is realistically "your"
problem? ;)
