Are you sure your RPL enabled bootrom PCs really need SAP broadcasts to boot? SAP has two meanings in the Novell world. Don't confuse them.
Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) sends broadcasts to advertise services. An Ethernet Frame Type of SAP simply means that the frame contains an 802.3 and 802.2 header. The 802.2 header has a Destination Service Access Point (SAP) and a Source Service Access Point. It's unfortunate that Cisco calls this sap. Novell calls it Ethernet_802.2. The other common Ethernet encapsulation is novell-ether. That has just an 802.3 header. Cisco calls this novell-ether. It's the default. Novell calls it Ethernet_802.3. (There are two others also, Ethernet II and SNAP but they aren't relevant.) On your VLAN 11 where the clients reside, you have clients that use both Ethernet_802.3 and Ethernet_802.2. On that VLAN you will need two IPX network numbers, each using a different encapsulation: ipx network aaaa ipx network bbbb encap sap secondary Oh, I just noticed that you already have that. I doubt that you need the ipx sap helper address. (I don't think they really use the Service Advertising Protocol). Also, the ipx helper address can just be in there once and point to the same one that all the others point to. I think you can get rid of these lines: ipx helper-address D11.0002.5558.519b ipx sap-helper D11.0002.5558.519b Priscilla At 03:16 AM 6/1/02, Hitesh Pathak R wrote: >Dear Group > >I am configuring the IPX/SAP traffic forwarding between Vlan's on a catalyst >6006 with MSFC.
