Yes. A single router running a routing protocol is lonely indeed. Sometimes you can enable OSPF or RIP on one of your [Cisco] routers so that it can learn from VM and then send that to the other routers via the 'other protocol'. > 2.

If your RIP/OSPF network is small, so will be the amount of data flowed. > 4. Any reason to keep my GATEWAY statements while running MPROUTE? GATEWAY is a way to do static routes. It is useful if MPROUTE doesn't come up, but it then creates a hazard where you need to keep MPROUTE CONFIG and GATEWAY in sync. Alan Altmark Sr. Software Engineer IBM z/VM Development
