Group,
I know that this issue was raised before. But it had never been really killed.
I wish we do this time. I have two questions:
First when to use canonical format and where to use nons:
* So far i am ALMOST sure (from documentation) that on any access list regardless where it is applied we have to use canonical (ethernet) cause that is how routers interpret it.
* Moreover, i am ALMOST sure that (from documentation) that routers only use non-canonicals in any DLSW traffic. So if traffic passes over any media that supports canonocal the routers handle transformation.
But the pending issues are :
1) In case of DLSW commands like:
dlsw icanreach mac-address HHHH.HHHH.HHHH
which format shall we use?
and taking ia step further,
2- In case of dlsw commands that refers to mac-address lists like,
dlsw remote tcp ............ dmac-output-list
which format shall we use??
Secondly:
If i need a peer router to delay accepting or relpying to explorers, which timer shall i use??
Here is the defentions of timers as in commands referance. I am not so sure if they are true cause some friends insists that they are not correct.
explorer-wait-time =
Time to wait for all stations to respond to explorers. The valid range is 1 to 86400 seconds. The default is 0.
explorer-delay-time =
Time to wait before sending or accepting explorers. The valid range is 1 to 5 minutes. The default is 0.
My interpratation for the above is to use the delay (not wait) option.
Did any one try these timers in real life or labs?? I wish sooo...
Thanks a lot for yr time reading this lenghty mail...
