According to cco cat 3900/5000 can switch multicast on TR. http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122cgcr/fipr mc_r/mult/1rfmult2.htm#1078651
ip multicast use-functional To enable the mapping of IP multicast addresses to the Token Ring functional address 0xc000.0004.0000, use the ip multicast use-functional command in interface configuration mode. To disable the function, use the no form of this command. ip multicast use-functional no ip multicast use-functional Syntax Description This command has no arguments or keywords. Defaults IP multicast address are mapped to the MAC-layer address 0xFFFF.FFFF.FFFF. Usage Guidelines This command is accepted only on a Token Ring interface. Neighboring devices on the Token Ring on which this feature is used should also use the same functional address for IP multicast traffic. Because there are a limited number of Token Ring functional addresses, other protocols may be assigned to the Token Ring functional address 0xc000.0004.0000. Therefore, not every frame sent to the functional address is necessarily an IP multicast frame. Examples The following example configures any IP multicast packets going out Token Ring interface 0 to be mapped to MAC address 0xc000.0004.0000: interface token 0 ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0 ip pim dense-mode ip multicast use-functional Martijn -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: wj chou [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Verzonden: dinsdag 12 augustus 2003 7:55 Aan: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Onderwerp: a token ring question [7:73908] Hi, Can token ring carry multicast traffic? And what's the ip address to mac address mapping if it does?
