I wanted to practice TB and SRB so I decided to use NetBeui to test with
since I dont have access to mainframe type traffic
I have a 4000 series router with 2 token ring ports, a MAU connected to each
port. I have 2 Microsoft NetBEUI computers. An NT server and 95
workstation. I started out with both computers on the same MAU. With both
on the same MAU: I can build a browse list, log into the domain and connect
to shares.
I started with transparent bridging.
bridge 1 protocol ieee
on each interface..
bridge-group 1
I placed the computers on the seperate maus. nothing. they cant see each
other anymore.
I plugged a sniffer into each mau and see that each wortstation is sending
out NetBEUI broadcasts to a MAC address of C00000000080 which i beleive is
a group address. In the token ring header it states that this is a single
route broadcast / all route return.
first of all why wont the router forward these frames across the token ring
ports?
I gave up after a few hours of dinking with the router and though I'd
configure SRB. So I follow a sample SRB example from the documentation and
still no luck.
If the packets are to be source route bridged wouldnt the end stations send
out explorer frames before the NetBEUI broadcast frames to find the route ?
Any ideas ??
