Re: TR supports multicast !!

[Atif Awan]

The CCIE is right :) ... In fact there is no specification of multicast addresses in Token Ring and they ARE implemented with what they call Functional Addresses.     Regards Atif -----Original Message----- From: Mohammed Hakim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sunday, July 30, 2000 3:39 AM Subject: TR supports multicast !! Hello group,   About my last question: Does the Token Ring (IEEE 802.5) support Multicasts (sending packets to a group of devices) .. I have two answre saying yes, i have asked an CCIE .. he told me:   TR does not do multicast, IBM or IEEE. .... It does use functional addresses kinda like multicast, butthere's a very limited set of these. IOS doc from Cisco on HSRP on Token Ring has some related material.   Now i have 2 answers .. any one can help .. Thanks   Mohammed Hakim - CCNA
