Novell Encapsulations and Cat 5000 [7:17233]
It would be very great if someone can shed some light on this. It's a little bit off topic but thanks :) Firstly, what is the difference between the following Novell encapsulation types - Arpa, Sap, Novell-Ether and Snap? Do they have different fields in them (for instance, if analyzed with a Protocol Analyzer), and are they all for Ethernet? Secondly, whereabout can I find out more troubleshooting info. on a Cat 5000 - in particular, the LEDs (the green, orange and red lights). Thanks again.

Hunt if you did a yahoo search on +snap +ethernet +sap you would find the following link. http://osr5doc.sco.com:457/NetConfigG/configparamsC.framing_type.html Not trying to be harsh here but being able to quickly look up readily available information is a key part of becoming a good engineer. - Original Message - From: "Hunt Lee" To: Sent: Saturday, August 25, 2001 6:11 AM Subject: Novell Encapsulations and Cat 5000 [7:17233] > It would be very great if someone can shed some light on this.

Re: Novell Encapsulations and Cat 5000 [7:17233]
Don't use that reference. It's full of mistakes. It claims that an LLC SAP is Service Advertising Protocol. It puts the first two bytes of a Novell IPX network-layer header with 802.3. And so on. I wrote extensively about Ethernet frame types in my Troubleshooting Ethernet Networks study guide at www.certificationzone.com. Cisco has some good references on the subject also. The CIT class and Cisco Press CIT book do a good job with it. They also have a bunch of info about your other question, troubleshooting Cat 5000.

Shoot I did it again. I did a reply instead of reply to all (as is proper on most lists).

Re: Novell Encapsulations and Cat 5000 [7:17233]
I think it's wise to tell people to search, but of course, on the Internet, it's also risky because there's so much bad stuff out there. Cisco's documentation is usually quite good, so recommending searching their site works. They have a good article on Ethernet frame types. I don't remember the URL though.
