I'm setting up a home lab
and I've configured my Frame relay switch
and 2 routers so far
I'm able to ping across the cloud but not to the directly connected interface
ie
R1 192.168.2.1 R2 192.168.2.2
from R1 I can ping 192.168.2.2 but from R1 I can't ping 192.168.2.1
If I set up a frame-relay map I can ping the serial interface on R1 from R1
but it sends the traffic out to the switch then back
what would cause this?

R2 router config
interface Serial0/1 ip address 192.168.2.2 255.255.255.0 encapsulation frame-relay frame-relay map ip 192.168.2.1 201 broadcast no frame-relay inverse-arp
When you ping a Cisco router's own point-to-point interface, it sends the packet out the interface, with the expectation that the device at the other end will forward it back. The idea, I believe, is that this can be used to test that the interface is really connected.
