B.4 MMAC WITH ETHERNET AND TOKEN RING
SIMULTANEOUSLY
Figure B-4 illustrates the simultaneous installation of an Ethernet
network with a token ring network in the same MMAC. To connect
the two networks together requires a token ring to Ethernet bridge.
Without this bridge, information cannot pass between the two
networks. In this illustration the Ethernet and token ring networks
are not able to communicate with each other.

Since the Ethernet
and Token Ring
Networks are NOT
Bridged together by
a bridging device,
they can NOT share
data.
