Has any one had any luck connecting apollo token rings via Cisco router boxes. Due to the merger of two of divisions we need to connect two distinct rings together. The rings are connected via ethernet, separated by a Cisco router. An individual at our company says that this is not possible but I do not believe him. We would like to run DDS services between the rings and eventually merge all services (glbd, rgyd, etc ..). Also is it possible to have two rings connected via ethernet and token ring back each other up. In otherwords how do I make the ethernet take over if the token ring fails. I have assigned Apollo network addresses to the ethernet and have enabled Internet routing on the ethernet gateways. The rings are connected via a DN4500 with two token ring cards and via two DN4500 that have both ethernet and token ring cards in them. Any comments or suggestions would be a great help. Thanks in advance. -- Jeff Detterman, Rockwell International, Cedar Rapids, Ia Email : j_detter@hwking.catd.cr.rok.com
