Hi,
In a nutshell: In order for an SRB bridge to pass frames, those frames need
to have a
RIF (routing information field). By default, Cisco routers do not generate a RI
F with
frames sent on a vanilla Token Ring interface configuration. So, in order to ma
ke the SRB
switch understand the frames, you need to force the Cisco router to generate a
RIF with
each frame sent out the T/R interface. To do this for every frame (regardless o
f layer
3), simply type:
multiring all
under the T/R interface. Technically, the router doesn't "run SBR," but this st
atement
simply makes the router's frames look like the SRB bridge expects them to. Also
, as an
FYI, when you configure your 39xx, make sure you code the proper ring/bridge nu
mbers
instead of just leaving the default "auto". Good luck.
HTH,
Jake
