Out of curiosity, does anyone know WHY Cisco has only implemented ISL on FE?
My understanding of the spec (based on white papers on CCO) is that the ISL
protocol supports Token Ring, FDDI, etc. and in fact goes to great lengths
to support things like RIF so that frames from different topologies can
coexist (encapsulated) on an uplink, but none of these were ever
implemented.

thx,
