Sorry about the IPX beconing, I meant the Token_Ring network would beacon.
I have gotten this to work on a Madge Ringswitch however.......

IPX can't beacon!!! &;-) I don't know how we managed to move up to the
network layer anyway. The question was "Can you configure multiple rings on
a single MAU?"
The answer is no. A MAU is a physical-layer relay. It's like an Ethernet
hub. Two rings requires at least a bridge or switch.
To be honest, I don't know what would actually happen if you plugged two
2500s into the same MAU and assigned two different ring numbers. I can't
think of anything in the Token Ring protocols that addresses this problem.
But I do know that it would be illogical, illegal, and downright ugly, kind
of like what's going on in Florida. &;-)
