Hi All,
During migration from token ring to ethernet one of my customers needs
to internetwork the two. They are running both IP and IPX protocols
and so the easiest way would be to bridge the two.
FreeBSD still has the oltr token-ring driver (no manpage however)
and FreeBSD has bridge(4) and ng_bridge(4) so I'd like to give it a
try if there's any chance of success. However, both bridge(4) and
ng_bridge(4) manual pages only talk about ethernet bridging.
Hence the simple question:
Is there any chance I can use FreeBSD as a bridge between
token-ring and ethernet or will I be wasting my time trying
to get the thing to work.
PS. Before I can try there are some logistics involved in getting
all hardware and myself to the customer site so any advise (even
negative) is very much appreciated.
Regards,
Paul Schenkeveld
