2612 and Catalyst2912XL configuration problem

[MVC]

Hello ,

we have a network that is running on TokenRing , but are planning to change to Ethernet.
so we bought 2 Ciscos to setup a test environment so we can test before we actual change.

the test situation :
1 pc with Ethernet connected to the Catalyst2912XL.
2 servers with Token Ring in a Token Ring-hub .
The Catalyst2912XL and the Token Ring hub are in the Cisco2612 Router.

We have done a basic configuration of both Ciscos and this is the result :
both interfaces ( ethernet0/0 and tokenring0/0 are up )
BUT there's a problem :
when we ping from the EthernetPC to a TokenRing server we get an answer , but when we ping from a TR server to the EthernetPC there's no answer.
So , Ethernet can see the TokenRing ,but TR can not see Ethernet !

Anybody any ideas ???
Thanks in advance

I'm guessing that you do not have the complete ring groups set up and/or source bridge routing to pass the token information. There are several ways to do this and it would be helpful to post the configs with the IPs changed to protect the guilty ;-)

Ethernet --------|
|
router
|
TokenRing--------|

Is this sort of what it's like?

Hello Mikes

i'm happy i can tell you we solved the problem :

we had 1 network 10.10.x.x ( half TR - half Ethernet )
we split this up in 2 ; ethernet 10.11.x.x and TR 10.10.x.x.

in the TR-machines we put the IP-adres of the TR-card in the 2612 router as default gateway and in the Ethernet-machines we put the IP-adres of the ethernet-card in the 2612 as default gateway.
and now in test everything works !
