4250.0. "Token Ring on VNswitches, any plan?" by IB004::COLL () Tue Mar 04 1997 09:49

    
    
    	Hi,
    
        Is there any plan to add  Token Ring on the VNswitch family,
    specially to integrate Token Ring in an ATM LEC solution ?
    
    	We have a customer planning to implement an ATM Backbone, but
    he has a mixture of ethernets and token rings througout the factory. A 
    solution based on ATM LANE to Token Ring, with a single external 
    element to perform source routing to transparent would be much better
    than including  900ET's from ethernet to token ring wherever such 
    networks exist.
    
    	Thanks.
    	Albert.

You can check with product management... but to my knowledge, there is
absolutely no plan for TR support in the VNswitch.  DEC just isn't anywhere
on the map as a TR vendor.
