DISL Inter-swtich link decode help needed..
On my sniffer trace I am seeing a DISL packet come by (0x0001 - Domain Name). This first packet has this setting: Status Flag = 03. Underneath that it has
0 = Operational state is not trunk
011 = Configured sate: port would like to become trunk
Then the sniffer says "message type = 0x0003 (unknown).

the next packet to come by from the same switch is strange. It is the same mac address as the first one I think(?) but the Sniffer decodes it as BBNobs for the OUI. What is BBNobs?
Can anyone tell me what these DISL packets are saying? Is one side trying to be a port and where does BBNOBS come from? Also, any links to DISL decode help would be appreciated. thanks,
