(ASCEND) Multicast weirdness
Hi,
I've posted on this here already but no answer yet. I'd like to try
out the multicasting capabilities of several Ascend boxes I have
around. I basically have two obstacles:
1) Documentation, or better lack thereof. I can't find where the
multicast stuff for Ascend boxes is documented. Neither the
"ISP Guide" nor the "Reference Guide" from the beta download
area (I assumed them to be the newest) had a single word on
it. Searching www.ascend.com reveals some release notes that
may have information, but the WWW server fails to retrieve them.
I'll have a look on FTP later, but this is a really bad example
for documentation: We are at least one major version after the
releases where multicast was added (4.6Bi or such) but still have
no documentation besides what may hang around in a giant backlog
of change release notes.
2) Missing Multicast at all
On our Max4000/E1 I have the Multicast... Menu (between DNS and Auth).
The menu is missing on all Max2000 and Max1800 units I have access
to. On www.ascend.com is clearly stated that these units _do_ support
IGMP multicast routing, so I guess the feature was simply forgotten.
Anyone ?
TIA,
Andre.
