HELP! I was the original poster of the NSAP thread. I have gotten many responses, but I finally got one that has me very, very confused. It seems that the CSMA ES and IS addresses have been stable for some time; however, I am dealing with Token Ring and thought I had the problem licked until today. Here are the addresses in question - but there is a *new* standard that has yet to be logged as official...and the addresses have changed! 802.5 ESIS_ES ES address c0.00.00.08.00.00 03.00.00.10.00.00 NIST 1988, MAP/TOP, three vendors c0.00.00.00.40.00 NIST 1990 OSI Workshop (draft???) and cisco 03.00.00.00.02.00 802.5 ESIS_IS IS address c0.00.00.10.00.00 03.00.00.08.00.00 NIST 1988, MAP/TOP, three vendors c0.00.00.00.80.00 03.00.00.00.01.00 NIST 1990 OSI Workshop (draft???) and cisco I also understand that there are other standards bodies involved in Europe that adhere to the NIST 1988 and MAP/TOP agreements...and that the 1990 Workshop stuff is not yet written into the books. Where can I FTP a copy of both the 1988 NIST and 1990 NIST documents...why change addresses? I understand using the least-significant-bit of the MSByte - but these changes/differences are 'in the middle' of the address. Oh, help. Oh, help. -- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Carlo Milono | | Personal: cmilono@netcom.com or apple!netcom!cmilono | | Hobbes: "Life in the Great Suburban Outback is certainly fraught with | | peril." | | Calvin: "If you'd seen it, you'd have been scared too." | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
