Hi,
Will the following worked or supported ?
My customer is trying to add a multicast address to LANbridge 200
with these commands :-
CREATE FORWARD DATA STATIC ENTRY 01-00-5E-00-00-05
DISPLAY FORWARD/LOG *
and getting an error saying "A multicast or broadcast address is
not a valid identifier".
The * above denotes the privilege password. The address given is
a Non-Digital multicast address assigned to DoD Internet Multicast
(RFC-1054).
Thanks

| 6319.1 | Multicast instead of Static Entry, right ? | ZPOVC::SINSPS | Mon Jun 05 1995 11:45 | 28 | |
re .1
Sorry
> CREATE FORWARD DATA STATIC ENTRY 01-00-5E-00-00-05
> DISPLAY FORWARD/LOG *
should be :-
CREATE FORWARD DATA STATIC ENTRY 01-00-5E-00-00-05
DISPOSITION FORWARD/LOG *
I guess I know what's the problem now but could somebody confirm this
as the customer can only try out this weekend. Since 01-00-5E-00-00-05
is a multicast address, he should instead used :-
CREATE FORWARD DATA MULTICAST ENTRY 01-00-5E-00-00-05
DISPOSITION FORWARD/LOG *
That explain for the error "A multicast or broadcast address is not a
valid identifier", right ?
NB. Has not been supporting DECmcc for a while. What's the Corporate
direction ? Are we still supporting it ?
Thanks

I don't *know* the answer to your multicast syntax query, but from
pretty extensive use of MCC and DECnis bridge filters, I beleive that
you *do* need to differentiate between static and multicast in the
command syntax when actually referring to a multicast address.
As for MCC support, I'm actively supporting it in the UK, V1.4 is
available (more of a cumulative bug fix, then new release). There's a
little more info in..
