What about using two edge routers running ipx, and core routers routing
only ip ?
RA-----------RB------RC--------------RD
ethernet ser ethernet
- on RA and RD only, turn on ipx routing,
- on RA and RD ethernet, set ipx network ABBA encaps sap
- make RB and RC two dlsw peers, link the ethernets to dlsw
- from RA, ping ipx ABBA.<RD Eth-mac> and viceversa
and that's all. DLSW will transport ipx , lsap 0xE0E0, RA/RD MAC address.
Enjoy !
Ciao Max
