| 136.1 | Nasty 802.3 packets. | CGOS01::DMARLOWE | dsk dsk dsk (tsk tsk tsk) | Fri Jan 29 1993 13:59 | 15 |
This has been discussed in the Ethernet Notes file.
What you have is a incomplete implementation of an 802.3 packet.
It has no 802.2 header. Novell is a prime example of a company
that has an incomplete 802.3 implementation. Maybe someone should
tell them that they aren't the only ones on a LAN today. 8^)
Anyways, rather than cutoff communication thru the DB90 for all
those vendors that haven't done things right, the engineers decided
to let those packets thru. Whether or not its right to let those
packets thru in inverse mode is a rathole that I'm not going to
go down. They should and do go thru when you are in normal mode.
To change this means a gate array change if I'm not mistaken.

Well, I think, I hope LeNAC engineering can answer this one.
