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

[Jim McBurnett]

Jeff,
I ran into this in a past life..
Apple computers come up on the network card very fast.. And I found that
I had to enable portfast on every port...
I will look thru my notes and see if I find anything else... BUT it has
been quite a while!


Later,
jim

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
