Re: Filter NetBIOS without using LSAP lists

Fred,

This brings up another Q to my mind. If I am using
dmac lists for regular mac address filtering either on
DLSW remote-peer or on interfaces, I should permit
this address in my MAC ACL's to make sure that I don't
block NetBIOS traffic, since the last line in ACL is
to deny everything. Eg.

R1--------IP Cloud-----------R2

I want to allow hosts on R1 to communicate with only
one host on R2 with mac address of 1234.5678.9012, so
I would have my MAC acl as

access-list 700 permit 1234.5678.9012 0000.0000.0000
access-list 700 permit c000.0000.0080 0000.0000.0000

and apply to my remote-peer statement on R1. This will
ensure that my NetBIOS traffic is not blocked. Is this
the right way to do mac acl's?

TIA,
Vikas
