[c-nsp] Appletalk (don't laugh) through Cisco switch

[Voll, Scott]

Are all the Mac's on the same Vlan on that switch?  Being on different vlans
should be the only thing that prevents them from not talking to each other
to my knowledge.....

I have a most unusual situation here :-)  We have a <large govt entity> 
specialized simulation lab on campus that is all-Macintosh.  We are not 
routing Appletalk, don't need to, they only need it inside the lab.  The 
hosts were hooked up to a 3550-EMI switch, nothing fancy.  Their 
application fails.  According to "them":

"We have researched this problem and discovered that there is a
known issue with running AppleTalk through a Managed CISCO Switch."

"The solution will be to connect all your computers to a non-cisco 
managed switch."

Anyone ever heard of this?  I drew a blank searching TAC.  I thought 
Cisco switches could do anything :-)

Jeff
