    I keep seeing the source-bridge ring-group statements on these DLSW
routers with no Token Ring, just Ethernet, and I can't figure out why they
are there. I configured a bunch of DLSW routers with ethernet, and never
used that statement. Only on Token Ring peers.
    Without token ring, it serves no purpose. It does work without it. I
promise!
