Hi folks, I am working on HaiBo DLSw+ Scenario t0 r1 --------- r2 ------- r3 t0 |t0 Task 1 configure such that host at [r2] t0 can access host at [r3] t0. The answer is quite obvious. Task 2 (this is the tricky one) configure [r1] such that host at [r2] and [r3] can access host at [r1]. Only ONE peer connection is allowed. Border peer command is not allowed. I am thinking to use remote peer Passthru between r1--r2 and r2--r3 which will provide me the same virtual-ring group to use between r1--r2 and r2--r3. But I am not able to see Beta on r1. http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios121/121cgcr/ibm_ c/bcprt2/bcddlsw.htm#21315 Any comments, suggestions on these configs. r1 ! source-bridge ring-group 100 dlsw local-peer peer-id 140.1.1.1 dlsw remote-peer 0 tcp 140.1.2.2 rif-passthru 100 r1#sh dl rea DLSw Remote NetBIOS Name reachability cache list NetBIOS Name status Loc. peer Alpha UNCONFIRM REMOTE 140.1.2.2(2065) r2 ! source-bridge ring-group 100 dlsw local-peer peer-id 140.1.2.2 dlsw remote-peer 0 tcp 140.1.1.1 rif-passthru 100 dlsw remote-peer 0 tcp 140.1.3.3 rif-passthru 100 dlsw icanreach netbios-exclusive dlsw icanreach netbios-name Alpha ! r2# sh dl rea DLSw Remote NetBIOS Name reachability cache list NetBIOS Name status Loc. peer Beta UNCONFIRM REMOTE 140.1.3.3(2065) r3 ! source-bridge ring-group 100 dlsw local-peer peer-id 140.1.3.3 dlsw remote-peer 0 tcp 140.1.2.2 rif-passthru 100 dlsw icanreach netbios-exclusive dlsw icanreach netbios-name Beta ! r3#sh dl rea DLSw Remote NetBIOS Name reachability cache list NetBIOS Name status Loc. peer Alpha UNCONFIRM REMOTE 140.1.2.2(2065) Regards, ShahzaD -----Original Message----- From: ShahzaD Ali [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 20, 2001 6:53 PM To: Huang HaiBo Subject: RE: DLSW questions, another idea Did you get any feedback on this ???
