Team, Thanks to all your response, Dennis Laganiere's paper made everything clear to me, my mistake(I was not counting the bytes for RC). There is not newsgroup like this one,....... 5 * for this newsgroup

Count the number of bytes the RIF is (hint - each hex character is one byte, so there are two bytes for the RC, and two more for each RD). Since the first problem has a length of 24 bytes defined, but an actual length of 8 bytes, it's invalid.. Since the second problem has a length of 6 bytes defined, but an actual length of 8 bytes, it's invalid too... Attached is a document I put together some time ago to help people with RIFs, hopefully you will find it useful. Group members won't get the attachment, but I'll try and post it on a web site for you to download later tonight...

Can someone explain....... example 1 RIF d820.0123.0321.0050 TYPE RIF LENGTH DIRECTION FRAME LENGHT NOT USED 110 11000 0 010 0000 How do you know that the rif length is different from the actual length of the RIF (what are we counting here) example 2 RIF 0630.0011.0191.0030 TYPE RIF LENGTH DIRECTION FRAME LENGHT NOT USED 000 00110 0 011 0000 How do you know that the rif length different from the actual lengthf the RIF (what are we counting here) Thanks, JB [GroupStudy.com removed an attachment of type application/octet-stream which had a name of Doing RIFs.pdf] Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=38592&t=38569 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
