I never found a use for the Virtual Ring interfaces. To test DLSw and RSRB configs really requires something to generate traffic and I only know of a few ways to do that.
First, if you have an IOS that can do APPN, search through the archives for APPN and you'll find some configs that allow your routers to be APPN end-nodes. If your DLSw or RSRB configs are correct, your nodes will connect. Another option is to have two PCs running NetBEUI. That's probably the best option if you can do it. Thirdly, you can use other routers as hosts but this can be tricky. DLSw was not intended to transport IP but it can if you tweak it correctly. I have set up SRB with DLSw and tested it using pings but it definitely can be treacherous. :-) Good luck, John ________________________________________________ Get your own "800" number Voicemail, fax, email, and a lot more http://www.ureach.com/reg/tag ---- On Mon, 17 Dec 2001, Raymond Cai ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: > Hi, John > > I saw you ask the question about usability of virtual token ring > interface > several month ago on groupstudy, may I know your findings? > > I 'd like to know whether it is possible to connect 1601 and 2501 back > to > back with a virtual tr interface at each end and practice RSRB. seems to > me > the connection is always closed no matter which encapsulation I use, > direct > or tcp.
