Configuring Cisco Routers for Bridging DLSw+ and Desktop Protocols

-- Working in a multi-protocol environment -- Configuring Cisco routers can take many forms. Network administrators are often asked to configure routers in an IP environment and are just as often asked to configure routers in a multi-protocol environment. There is a critical need for a book that addresses the issues of configuring Cisco routers for bridging in a multi-protocol environment.-- Covers many desktop protocols -- This is a complete guide to configuring and supporting multi-protocol networks on Cisco routers with practical scenarios and case studies covering IBM Networking Protocols, Novell IPX, AppleTalk, Banyan Vines, and DECnet protocols.-- This guide to configuring and supporting multi-protocol networks on Cisco routers includes everything an administrator needs to understand the concepts behind the technology and how to implement the technology. Features include: -- Case studies in every chapter in order to present the information in a real-world situation-- Detailed coverage of IBM networking protocols and desktop protocols-- In-depth description of transparent bridging and source-route bridging for Cisco routers-- Step-by-step implementation instructions to configure Cisco routers in a multi-protocol environment-- CD-ROM contains configurations that can be used as templates in a multi-protocol environment
