32.0. "Complete list of Protocol Type Values?" by RANGER::DITOMMASO (A man's got to know his limitations) Wed Feb 26 1992 01:16

    
       Is there a complete list of protocol type values which the 
    DECbridge 90 can filter?
    
    The Owner's Manual only listed a few.  I am specifically looking 
    to filter AppleTalk.
    
    Thanks,

32.1More info on AppleTalk filteringRANGER::DITOMMASOA man's got to know his limitationsWed Feb 26 1992 01:4116
    
    The Protocols I was given to filter to AppleTalk are the following.  

    The protocol types (they're really 802 SNAP SAPs) to filter are:

	08-00-07-80-9B
    and	00-00-00-80-F3

    
    However when I try to set these in the DECbridge 90 it seems to 
    reverse the last two hex numbers.
    
    I enter DEFINE PROTOCOL 1 FILTER ALL 08-00-07-80-9B but then when I 
    do a SHOW PROTOCOL is shows protocol 1 to be 08-00-07-9B-80.
    
    Any suggestions???

That's news to me, I thought the bug was in SET, not DEFINE, and that it
was the second pair, not the last pair...
32.3Need IPX info alsoRANGER::DITOMMASOA man's got to know his limitationsWed Feb 26 1992 17:028
    
    well, you could be right it was a while since I tried this.
    
    I also need to know the protocol types to filter IPX.
    
    Thanks,

32.4NOVELL 802.3 == proprietaryCGOS01::DMARLOWEPDP 11: MOV -(PC),-(PC)Wed Feb 26 1992 18:0511
    If its Novell's Ethernet II protocol 81-37 then the bridge can filter
    or forward just fine.  If its their attempt at implementing 802.3
    then the answer is no way.  Novell doesn't implement 802.2 headers
    so the bridge can't do anything about it.  In fact any non-compliant
    802.3 frames are automatically forwarded by the bridge.  Its to
    prevent equipment with incomplete 802.3 implementations from being
    cutoff at the bridge.
    
    See note 960 in the ETHERNET notes file for more details.

32.5known protocol types (listing)NOHOST::LEVINBryan, LENaC Engineering, MLO3-3/U39Wed Feb 26 1992 19:4312
    RE: the list of proto types:
    
    I am in the process of getting the 'releasable' values known to DEC
    (and the other one's we know about).
    
    I need this for the HUBwatch graphical interface.  I will compile this
    into an ascii file, that will be input into the MSU and MCC databases.
    
    There are issues about disclosure, that I'm not fully up on, yet.  But,
    I'll keep you posted ...
