In documents that I have seen, it shows that on a token ring router running
dlsw, all that is required is a source-bridge command i.e. "source-bridge
ring-group 12", and on the interface "source-bridge 1 1 12" linking the
interface to the virtual ring. I set up dlsw between a token ring router
and an ethernet router, I don't have a token ring workstation so I set up
one router with ethernet and token ring as a transparent bridge as seen
below. But it didn't work like I thought. I could not get it to work with
the source bridge commands, but when I made the token ring interface part of
a bridge group and put in the dlsw bridge-group command, it worked with no
problem, I could find the other workstation and transfer files. I have also
seen configs where an ethernet router has a source bridge command when
peering with a dlsw token ring router. When do we use the source bridge
commands in dlsw, are they really necessary, or can it be done just using
bridge groups? I included an ASCII drawing of what I had set up below,
maybe the source bridge commands didn't work because I had this setup with
the transparent bridge?
