Hi,

Not by default, but there is broadcast keyword you can use:

Have a look a this doc:

Hi thanks!!! i had readed some documents, and i saw that FR doesn´t support technically broadcast.

A router with broadcast keyword in the frame-relay map ip command, will repeat every "broadcast" packet in every DLCI, to ensure that the broadcast (routing protocol) reaches every neighbor.

Are you agree with me?

Thanks!!!

Thats why they call this type of network NBMA "non-broadcast multi-access"
