I don't have the capability to configure the encapsulation on my Ethernet interfaces either. Someone else sent an IOS config guide that says you can do it (FOR IP PACKETS), but I wasn't able to. Anyone else able to? The IOS defaults to an encapsulation depending on the packet type. It defaults to ARPA for IP. It defaults to novell-ether for Novell. It defaults to SNAP for AppleTalk, CDP, VTP, others. It defaults to sap for STP. You have me worried with this "the ios assumes it is arpa" statement. That's just for IP. There is no default encapsulation type for Ethernet in general. It depends on the packet type. Get the free Ethereal protocol analyzer and check it out. I think you would enjoy it. Here's a lab exercise you could do: http://www.troubleshootingnetworks.com/ethernet.html Priscilla > > > interface eth0 > ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 > Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=70895&t=70802 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
