I had done a "clear app int" and even a "clear int", but the interface
would not come up. This node was not supposed to get it's address from a
seed router. Also, the node had been working fine for quite some time and just suddenly went down. There are 10 remote sights connected through a
Frame Relay & the sub-interfaces were all fine.
Sorry I didn't include this info in the original post.
Actually, after I reloaded the router, everything was fine. Also, a friend told me that Cisco routers do not forget the AppleTalk address until the router is reloaded. Sortta like sub-interfaces. Is this true?
The point I was really confused about is that after I re-assigned the AppleTalk cable range, it came back as node 158. Then I got a console
message that the AppleTalk interaface was up. But when I did a "sho app
int", it claimed the interface was down. After I reloaded, it used node
158 again, and showed that the AppleTalk interface was up. Now why would
it use the same node address - assuming the address was invalid 2 mintues prior? No nodes had been taken off or put onto the network, so the NBP database should have been static. (It was 2 AM, everyone was gone.)
Nothing had changed, yet the interface was no longer "invalid". That's
what I have a problem with.
Does anyone have any idea of what happened?
TTFN,
patrick

This is a strange one. I have to run appletalk and see the configuration.
