hi all
a customer wants to migrate a tokenring-lan (a private c-range net) onto ethernet. On a separate eth-segment is the DHCP-server, wich acts as the DNS-srv too. The migrations should go as smoothly as possible. Due to lack of human resources the migration will last several days (maybe weeks ???)
My idea was to connect a router - configured as SR/TLB - in between. Therefor the migration can be done smootly.
unfortunately the DHCP and ARP request fail. I know. Cause of the cannonical/non-canonical format :-(
q: what is best practice to do such a migration without readressing the whole subnet? and keeping all the current services up and running? what are your experiences and suggestions?
tnx stephan
