Gary,
Actually there is a little more than that to it. When you have
your bridge set to SRB, all packets being bridged must have a RIF. By
default, layer 3 packets generated by the router do not contain a RIF.
If you want the router to generate a RIF for these packets, you use the
keyword 'multiring' on your token-ring interface. 'multiring all' will
generate a RIF for all L3 traffic generated out that interface,
'multiring ip' will generate it only for IP, and henceforth.
If the bridge is set to SRT, it will source-route packets with a
RIF, and transparently bridge packets without a RIF. If the bridge is
set to SRB, packets without a RIF are dropped.

Thanks,
Just couldn't belive it was so basic (no SRB on the router required)

They'll need to agree on the ring number and speed (or leave the 3900
set to
auto) of any rings they share. Bridge numbers are arbitrary unless you
will
be running the bridges in parallel. Bridges joining the same two rings
must
have unique bridge numbers.
