Thanks, not really doing how I would like it.
But I was wondering however if it wouldn't be possible to use the 72xx

routers as dumb media converter?
Meaning, I have a few of them replaced by bgpd and using OpenBSD as a

more effective router.
I wonder how or if possible to actually configure the router to have all

traffic from/to the DS3 port to go directly to/from a Fast Ethernet on

that same router without the routing engine of that router to do

anything what so ever. Some other interfaces on that router could stay

the same and do as usual, etc. But pick for example two of them, one DS3

and one Fast Ethernet and configure them as a simple media converter if

you like. In on one interface out on the other and reverse regardless of

  what it is.
That would work well and allow to reuse old stuff put on the self now. (:>
Any idea if anyone have done something like this, or if that would even

be possible?
Using Cisco gear as dumb media converter for an OpenBSD driven network!

That would be pretty cool! Then a logo on it as:
OpenBSD power network!
That would be sweet.
Best,
Daniel
