Hi all,
Our company's network are connected using some Cisco 2500 and Cisco 4000
routers. As we need to cater some non-routable protocols, bridging is also
enabled at all routers. I would like to know, is there any methods to
monitor which hosts are using bridging through the routers? Of course,
can someone explain what does this statement mean ?
(with an example of a non-routable protocol)
"As we need to cater some non-routable protocols,

and how is bridging enabled at a router ? (is this
referring to switching being enabled ?)

You could make use of the fact that a bridge just forwards traffic without
changing the MAC address, whereas a router decapsulates the packet from the
Layer 2 header and re-encapsulates, using its own MAC address. Assuming you
have a topology like this:
hosts-2500e0--e04000-hosts
To reply to my own post ;-), I must mention that the show arp is a good
solution in theory, but in practice, it only works with protocols that use
ARP (such as IP), and you're probably routing those protocols?
Are you on Token Ring?
If yes, the show lnm station command might help. If you had s
