Hi

My WAN provide offer me a ethernet MAN network to connect our remote branchs and Data center where we are running Decnet and IP. If I want to keep frame relay as backup link. How can I configure my Cisco 7502 and 2061 router to run both Decnet and IP traffic? If I configure bridge mode, if there any looping problem due to Spanning-tree.
Please help
Nick


 
there are a few choices here..

Bridge group on each router and the protocol of your choice..

DLSW+ which works very well but needs a high quality link.

The spanning tree question needs more information before a good answer can be posted.

Cisco press has a good book but dense on Bridging..
Bridging and IBM Network Solutions.
