If you have your cisco router configured to bridge any protocols that are not being routed and you have AppleTalk routing enabled, will this disable bridging for both AppleTalk Phase I and AppleTalk Phase II protocols on all interfaces (n.b., this is what we want), or does it depend on whether you have your interfaces configured for Phase I or II (using the appletalk address or appletalk cable-range commands respectively)? I assume that cisco routers cannot function as transition gateways for one cable segment - only between segments.

And you are right, the box acts as a transition gateway >between segments. I assume the above comments only apply to boxes running 8.2 onwards? The next (obvious?) question - if we have a routers running pre-Phase II gateway code (8.1-21) which are configured to bridge anything that cannot be routed, what is the best way to prevent Phase II packets from being passed along with Phase I packets (short of upgrading the gateway code which is being organized)?
