you recently converted from token ring to ethernet? i had no idea there was still token ring networks out there, or am i living in a bubble?
Sadly, you're living in a bubble. As long as there are banks and very large commercial institutions, there will be legacy installations. Including t/r. And OS/2. And windows NT 3.51. And FDDI and X.25 and every single legacy protocol, type of hardware and ancient operating system that ever existed.
Why do you think the Cisco 7500 only went EoS 3 years ago? Nick
