Nathan,
To work on DLSW+ (w/o TR), I use the following config:
R1--Ethernet--R2--serial--R3--Ethernet--R4
I use DLSW+ betwen R2 and R3, and bridges the R2 -> R1 and R3 -> R4 interfaces,
try to ping from R1 to R4, and also to R2 and R3 (BVI interfaces).
That did not help for the RIF/TR issues, but for filtering (mmmmh, the beauty o
f the "ican(not)reach", "dmac-..", etc).
With this (very simple) config, I was able to play around with most of the dlsw
... commands..
Regards,
Michel
