Hi there Guys...
Well...It is actually not in colour, but what will a man not do to drag
attention...
Anyway...I have a problem with DLSW...
I wan't to have full connectivity between Ethernet, Ring1, Ring 2 for
bridged traffic...
I have the following Setup
Etherenet--R1-----DLSW-----R2-----DLSW----R3--Ring2
|
|
Ring 1
The routers have the following loopbacks:
1.1.1.1=R1
2.2.2.2=R2
3.3.3.3=R3
So far I have the following configured...
R1:
dlsw local-peer peer-id 1.1.1.1 group 1 promiscous
dlsw bridge 1
Int ethernet0
bridge-group1
R2:
dlsw local peer peer-id 2.2.2.2 group 1 border
dlsw remote-peer 0 tcp 1.1.1.1
dlsw remote-peer 0 tcp 3.3.3.3
source-bridge ring-group 201
int TokenRing 1
source-bridge 1 1 201
source-bridge spanning
R3:
dlsw local-peer peer-id 3.3.3.3 group 1 promiscous
source-bridge ring-group 200
int TokenRing 1
source-bridge 2 1 200
source-bridge spanning
I got the above config to work, but I have one big question...
The way that the border group command works is that R2 caches reachability
information for R1 and R3 - When R1 sends out an explorer frame regarding a
machine, mac-address, netbios-name, whatever... This will be sent to R2,
which replies back and tells R1 - Connect to R3 on this IP address...This
sets up a peer connection from R1 to R3...
Is my understanding correct?
Now...here is my question...(finally)
Is there any way to get the connection from R1 to flow over R2 and then to
R3?
I wan't to limit my number of DLSW peers in the network, so could it be done
so that the traffic from R1 flows to R2, which then forwards to R3?
Any ideas, or does DLSW require point-2-point connections?
Nic
