As our network looks at potential expansion, which often involves connecting
existing nets (as opposed to laying down a totally new net), we come across
IBM 8209's (ethernet to token ring bridge).
Strictly speaking 'bridge' is a misnomer, but I'm not sure what exactly it
is. Could someone please enlighten me with a brief description of the 8209,
particularly with regard to LAN addresses.
Thanks in advance,
