hi folks,
look what i just got from Cisco Systems, guess the next generation
doesn4t need this knowledge for the lab anymore
=> End of Sale: Cisco Token Ring Switch Products
In 1997, Cisco introduced the Catalyst 3900 and 3920 stackable Token
Ring switches and copper and fiber modules for the Cisco Catalyst 5000
Series. These products quickly gained acceptance and have been installed
in thousands of mission-critical networks worldwide. However, since then
the number of customers continuing to use Token Ring has decreased
dramatically, with most converting to Ethernet, the demand for Token
Ring products is now very low. Vendors that produce chips used in these
products are discontinuing the chips, making production impossible
without expensive redesign. Considering the low level of demand, it is
not practical for Cisco to undertake this redesign. Cisco is, therefore,
announcing the End of Sale for these products, effective February 12,
2003. There are no replacement products. We are announcing End of Sale a
full year in advance to give customers who have not yet completed
migration an opportunity to adjust their plans.
