PROBLEM : We have an extended Campus LAN, both Token-Ring and Ethernet our problem are the broadcast ( BOOTP most of them ) passing from Token-Ring to Ethernet. All this is for remote configuration of NeXT's computers, NeXT sends a broadcast BOOTP to got information of the net, but CISCO don't pass broadcast ( 255.255.255.255 ), so I want to know if it is posible to configurate it to pass broadcasts Thanks Jose A.

See the "helper-address" configuration command. When a broadcast to one of a specified set of protocols is received, it is forwarded to the address specified in this command. -- Barry Margolin, Thinking Machines Corp. barmar@think.com {uunet,harvard}!think!barmar
