Andy: The question was to convert a token ring address to an Ethernet
address. This is of limited value unless one is doing SR/TLB. The url
tool says that it is for Ethernet to token ring - useful in a DLSW
scenario. (And I know that the tool works both ways.) The other
example of 8000.1234.5678 is exactly correct but it requires a bit more
knowledge of token ring than blindly using a bit swap tool.
And if you don't know how to translate without using a bitswap tool you
may be surprised on the DLSW portion of the lab test.
