Hi all,
Recently, we set our CISCO routers to route Appletalk as opposed to bridging
it. During that time, however, we were curious to see if we could selectively
bridge it while filtering out other protocol suites.
We looked up the family ID and checked it with Cabletron's LANVIEW packet
sniffer S/W. Both a book source and the S/W agreed it was: $809B.
However, the CISCO router refused to acknowledge 809B as the correct one.
So, who is right, Inside "Appletalk" (our book source) or CISCO? Is Appletalk
one of those protocols that require a variety of DDP level protocols enabled
at the router level?
Note: Before we routed Appletalk, we were bridging EVERYTHING of a non DEC or
TCP/IP nature, so naturally Appletalk was bridged properly.
Yours most curiously,
Tim.

What do you mean by not accepting 809b. We Use appletalk routing on our cisco's extensively. We also use bridging for Novell for now, eventually we will rout that too. On our Novell bridges we succesfully filter out ip packets. So , please supply more info re: what commands do you enter, and , what version of the software are you running and on what box ???
