Dear Group I am configuring the IPX/SAP traffic forwarding between Vlan's on a catalyst 6006 with MSFC. The scenario is like this :- cat6506(CORE)-----cat4003(DISTRIBUTION)-----cat2924(Access)----clients
1) Vlan no. 15 >> Server Vlan All my servers are connected to this Vlan. I have a Nolell 5.0 server also placed in this Vlan. 2)Vlan No 11 >>Client Vlan All my users are connected to this Vlan. There are some machines which requires to remote boot (Novell server). I have 2 combination of NIC's. Number 1 is 802.3 frame type supported & 2nd is RPL bootrom enabled with 802.2 frame type supported. Now I am able to remote boot with systems that has 3COM lan cards installed bcoz they support frane type eth_802.3 from any vlan. I.e. From the server vlan as well as across the Vlan also. I have respective IPX config done on my all the vlan interfaces with IPX helper addresses that helps in IPX packet forwarding across Vlan. However I am not able to boot with my RPL enabled bootrom (frame type 802.2) Across the Vlan. As per Cisco the 802.2 frame type is actually SAP broadcasts. But I am able to remote boot successfully with the same cards within the sererver vlan i.e. vlan 15. I see some problem in forwarding sap broadcasts across the Vlan. I am not too sure about the type of broadcasts or packet that the RPL enabled cards require to remote boot. I tried may settings on Novell server with the help of my Novell expert & finally we came to conclusion that there is some settings/command to be configured on L3 i.e. My MSFC. I am attaching my L3 config here for the reference. Pls suggest something. Router-L3#sh run Building configuration...
