I recall reading somewhere, maybe this board, that you can create virtual Token-Ring interfaces. On my 2500/2600 and 4500 series routers I can do the following:
ROUTER1(config)#int virtual-TokenRing ? Virtual-TokenRing interface number Here is an example: ROUTER4(config)#int virtual-To ROUTER4(config)#int virtual-TokenRing 1 ROUTER4(config-if)#end ROUTER4#sh int v 00:10:16: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by consoleir ROUTER4#sh int virtual-TokenRing 1 Virtual-TokenRing1 is up, line protocol is up Hardware is Virtual-TokenRing, address is 4000.0000.0008 (bia 4000.0000.0008) MTU 8136 bytes, BW 16000 Kbit, DLY 5000 usec, reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255 Encapsulation SNAP, loopback not set ARP type: SNAP, ARP Timeout 04:00:00 Last input never, output never, output hang never Last clearing of "show interface" counters never Input queue: 0/75/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 0 Queueing strategy: fifo Output queue :0/0 (size/max) 5 minute input rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec 5 minute output rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec 0 packets input, 0 bytes, 0 no buffer Received 0 broadcasts, 0 runts, 0 giants, 0 throttles 0 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored, 0 abort 0 packets output, 0 bytes, 0 underruns 0 output errors, 0 collisions, 0 interface resets 0 output buffer failures, 0 output buffers swapped out 0 transitions ROUTER4# I forgot which IOS version this featured first appeared in. But it works in 12.1....
