1. See Priscilla's response first. 2. Your query wondering about what protocols other than Novell that can use the 802.3 frame makes me wonder if you have misunderstood encapsulation. Novell's encapsulations were developed prior to the IEEE finalizing their standards. They're Novell-proprietary.
To illustrate this point, if you set the IPX encapsulation type to be novell-ether and you typed "show ipx interface ethernet 0", you'll see "novell-ether" on the Ethernet 0 interface. However, if you type "show interface ethernet 0", you'll see that the encapsulation is ARPA which is different than the IPX encapsulation on that same interface. -- Leigh Anne > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of > Lists Wizard > Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2001 4:29 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: CCIE Written: Ethernet 802.3 Frames [7:21945] > > > Hi Group, > > I am checking on the what the Certification Zone CD is saying about 802.3 > ethernet frames.
