I believe they are referring to the fact that direct encapsulation and FST
do not support media translation. You can get the peers to come up, but
data won't pass. I know that you can use direct or fst encapsulation Token
ring to Token ring, I have never tested Ethernet to Ethernet. The peers
will come up, but data transfer won't work if using direct or fst Token ring
to Ethernet. I believe it has to do with the fact that direct encapsulation
must use pass-thru, and so the llc2 session is not locally acknowledged, it
is end to end. Does someone know exactly where the problem lies with Token
ring to Ethernet with direct or fst encapsulation? Is it just the fact that
llc2 pass thru is not supported on differing media types?

~I have read in a cisco doc that "Direct encapsulation
~is supported only when the end systems reside in Token
~Ring". I am sure what this means because i have
~configured direct encapsulation between a To interface
~on one router and two ethernet interfaces on two
~remote routers. One circuit is up but the other not.

~Any ideas on this?
