Hi,

With the 'no appletalk send-rtmps', the serial interface does NOT go down -
I have tested this over HDLC, PPP and Frame - no routes are exchanged but
you can still ping each other......

The tunnel interface is a creative solution - but - would this be allowed in
the actual lab if the goal was to configure appletalk for each interface on
a router and advertise them?

I finally figured out the answer to this scenario.

R1------R2--------R3--Ethernet

If R3 has an Ethernet segment that you do not want advertised to the rest of
the network, but you can't use filtering, most people say to use "no apple
send-rtmps".

The problem with this command on a serial interface is that the interface
will go down in appletalk and then you won't be able to apple ping the rest
of the network.

The solution is to create a GRE tunnel between R2 and R3 and only configure
appletalk on this interface, not the serial interface. Then use the command
"no apple send-rtmps" on the tunnel interface on R3. This will not bring
down the appletalk protocol and it will not send any RTMP updates about the
ethernet segment attached to the router.
