I can tell you how to get rid of Netbios,
get rid of Windoze machines.....<g>
Netbios is encapsulated within IP
( assuming you are using IP on WinXX machines ), even if you don't have
Netbeui loaded. One of the best ways to minimize netbios broadcasts in your
network is to have a WINS server or servers and manually set the winblows
machines to WINS only mode so that it gets it's name lookups from the WINS
server only and not from broadcast or hybrid mode.
That's the simple version of it. Way too long a subject to talk about here
as this is a Cisco study forum.
I minimize all broadcasts by keeping my VLANs under 200 devices and route
between VLANs.
Assuming your NT server services and workstations are setup correctly, you
shouldn't have a real big issue anyway.
I run Appletalk on my network as well, and you're right, Netbios does a lot
more bandwidth damage than Appletalk does. ;-)
