RE: SR/TLB

SR/TLB is only for non-routable protocols. You can however
transparently bridge IP between Ethernet and Token-Ring. All you need
is the following:

Bridge 1 protocol ieee
Bridge 1 bitswap-layer3-addresses
!
interface Ethernet 0
 bridge-group 1
!
interface TokenRing0
 bridge-group 1
!

"Translational bridging allows you to bridge between dissimilar LANs,
commonly Ethernet and Token Ring, or Ethernet and FDDI. In the case of
Ethernet and Token Ring bridging, translational bridging only allows
connectivity for non-routable protocols such as Local-Area Transport
(LAT), Maintenance Operation Protocol (MOP), and Network Basic
Input/Output System (NetBIOS). We'll explain more about that later on.
<snip>
Sometimes MAC addresses are carried in the data portion of a frame. For
instance, Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) places the hardware address
in the data portion of the the link-layer frame. It is simple to convert
source and destination addresses in the header, but conversion of
hardware addresses that may appear in the data portion is more
difficult. When performing source route transparent or source route
translational bridging between Ethernet and Token Ring, Cisco does not
search for instances of hardware addresses in the data portion. So, only
non-routable protocols work with Ethernet and Token Ring bridging."
