Re: Translational Bridging between Token Ring and Ethernet, IRB, and Various Routing Protocols

Ooops. The mistake I made was in the subject field! I'm only trying to do
transparent bridging with the token ring, ethernet, and BVI... In this
scenario I didn't get into SRB and SR/TLB.

Any thoughts regarding this knowing it's transparent bridging? The strange
part is that it works for most traffic - ping, telnet, RIP1, RIP2, IGRP but
not OSPF, EIGRP...
