   Here is a question that I thought I had resolved until I started
   reading the doc CD
   
   Assumptions:
   
   When you turn on dlsw in a router you have to bridge from Ethernet to
   dlsw. When you turn on dlsw on a router you have to source-route
   bridge from token ring to dlsw.
   
   Question:
   
   Did you just ruin routing of IP over the Ethernet and Token if you put
   it a bridge group or turn on source route bridging?
   
   Possible answer:
   
   My guess is no. It seems that dlsw turns on IRB automatically. I
   thought this was the answer for both token and Ethernet until I read
   the following passage on the Doc CD.
   
   
   Integrated routing and bridging is supported for transparent bridging,
   but not for source-route bridging (SRB).
   
   
   So what is the real answer? Did I lose routing of IP on my token
   interface when I turned on SRB? I would guess that dlsw takes care of
   this. Any thoughts on this?
