A. Yes and no, some other routers, notably the Shiva Fastpath and the Cayman Gatorbox, support a transition bridge with a single interface; that is, the interface can be configured for both an extended and a non-extended network at the same time. On the Cisco router, we support only a single network definition for each interface, but you can accomplish the same effect if you attach two interfaces to the same Ethernet segment and configure one for extended operation (that is, Apple cable-range) and the other for non-extended (that is, Apple address) operation.
