dlsw question

Hi All,

I have two question in dlsw config:

1. What's the difference between using tcp and fst in remote peer command?

2. If I want to use netbios access-list to filter traffic to remote peer, in the netbios access-list, beside ? and *, Are there any other wildcards I can use?

Thank You!

I believe FST only supports end stations connected to Token Ring networks where TCP is sort of a "catch all". TCP obviously provides for reliable delivery of frames where FST does not. TCP also offers non-disruptive rerouting around link failures where FST's rerouting process is disruptive. Bottom line: FST is more efficient than TCP but TCP is better all around if you are into reliability.

Honestly, ? and * are the only wildcards I have ever used in netbios ACL's. This doesn't mean that there aren't others but I am not familiar with any others. Hopefully that helps.
