Lupi,
if i do not convert to nonconanical, shouldn't the
remote router convert anyway? I understood that when
you source from ethernet, the router always converts
it to nonconanical. Remote router will either convert
back to conanical in case it has ethernet or leave it
nonconanical in case of token ring. So knowing this,
it should not matter if I convert it or not in the
local router. Unless, the local router will not be
able to filter it at all because of the conanical
format. Would appreciate it you had feedback on this.
Thanks in advance.
