[comp.dcom.sys.cisco] Bridging and AppleTalk Phase I/Phase II

C.Chaundy@its.unimelb.edu.au (05/12/91)

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.

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)?
