Ok here's a question.  Say I've got 50 routers on a phase II only
backbone.  They are a mix of Fastpaths, Gatorboxes and Ciscos.  I have
a cable-range of 20-23, and four zone names defined.  I need to add
another ethernet phase II zone name.  Do I need to reconfigure each 
and every router?  Or can I just reconfigure one of the routers and 
have the rest "learn" i.e. seed from the newly reconfigured?  I don't 
want to change the home zone, only add a new phase II ethernet zone 
name.  Have any of you done this?  I can't believe that I'd have to 
take down the whole net just to add a new zone.

Thanks
