Brian, I don't think you caught that this is SERIAL to TOKEN. There is no
Ethernet.

However, I was under the impression you could just bridge from token to
ether if you were doing transparent bridging on the token interface. I have
been assuming this is what is done on a cat with both token and ether ports,
but I could be wrong. I also think that serial bridging is more like
ethernet than serial as far as address formats and whatnot, so I would guess
your points about ethernet are still valid.

Here is the questions then, how can you configure SR/TLB when you have no
SRB to translate through. This is one of the things that lead me to believe
that token and ethernet could be bridged transparently without any more
config. I don't know...

It would be logical that RIP updates would work and not pings if SR/TLB was
not configured. I know you can transparently bridge Token-Ring frames, but
you cannot just Trnasparently bridge Ethernet frames into Token-Ring. You
must translate. SRT is only for going from Token-Ring to Token-Ring.
