Figure 2-1. Fully Meshed and Non-fully Meshed Networks
Group Access
In group access mode, upper-layer protocols treat each Frame Relay network
interface as a single access point to the switched network. The upper-layer
protocols use a single network address to send all traffic destined for the switched
network to the Frame Relay network interface. When you configure each router,
you assign only one network address, for example an IP or IPX address, to the
Frame Relay interface, not to each PVC. Figure 2-2 illustrates group access (the
default).
