Hi All,
I am having a case where my customer trying to change his connection from Framerelay to E-Line. In the main site they have a software with NetBEUI the terminals were working with the Framerelay. Now I am using the Cisco 1841 router with enterprise service ios, with configuration in the main site as follows:
Main Site
bridge irb
interface fast ethernet 0/0
ip address 10.0.0.10
bridge group 1
interface fastethernet 0/1
no ip address
interface fastethernet 0/1.2
description connection to First Branch
encapsulation dot1Q 2
ip address 172.16.0.1 255.255.255.0
bridge group 1
interface fastethernet 0/1.4
encapsulation dot1Q 4
ip address 172.17.0.1 255.255.255.0
bridge group 1
bridge 1 protocol ieee
bridge 1 route ip
Branch 1
interface fast ethernet 0/0
ip address 10.10.0.1
bridge group 1
interface fastethernet 0/1
no ip address
interface fastethernet 0/1.2
encapsulation dot1Q 2
ip address 172.16.0.2 255.255.255.0
bridge group 1
bridge 1 protocol ieee
bridge 1 route ip
Branch 2
interface fast ethernet 0/0
ip address 10.20.0.1
bridge group 1
interface fastethernet 0/1
no ip address
interface fastethernet 0/1.4
encapsulation dot1Q 4
ip address 172.17.0.2 255.255.255.0
bridge group 1
bridge 1 protocol ieee
bridge 1 route ip
When I started with the first branch it works (NetBeui application) and the connection was stable, I mean regarding the layer 3 (routing was working) and the NetBeui (I can see the Mac addresses of the main site in the branch site and the oppesite). When I put the second branch I have both of the branched working for layer three but the NetBeui worked only for few minutes before I lost the (NetBeui) connectivity for the two branch (still the layer three working in both branches)
My question is: do I need to add extra configuration for NetBeui to work with multiple sites? or does the configuration is suffice and we have to do something in the software?
Thanks in advance.
With best regards,
Essa Anas
