I've found the following multicast address in a DECbridge 500's forwarding database via DECelms' "Show known multicast address": 01-80-c2-00-00-00 keep 01-80-c2-00-00-01 filter 01-80-c2-00-00-02 filter 01-80-c2-00-00-03 filter 01-80-c2-00-00-04 filter 01-80-c2-00-00-05 filter 01-80-c2-00-00-06 filter 01-80-c2-00-00-07 filter 01-80-c2-00-00-08 filter 01-80-c2-00-00-09 filter 01-80-c2-00-00-0a filter 01-80-c2-00-00-0b filter 01-80-c2-00-00-0c filter 01-80-c2-00-00-0d filter 01-80-c2-00-00-0e filter 01-80-c2-00-00-0f filter 01-80-c2-00-00-11 forward These addresses came up automatically after the bridge was initialized with defaults. Can someone help explain their meaning? Thanks Lillian - HK EIS

01-80-c2-00-00-11 forward - ????
REF: ???? are you sure this wasn't 01-80-c2-00-00-10, which is the
802.1d All LANs Bridge Management Group Address.

The first one is the 802.1d spanning tree protocol multicast address. The next 15 are set aside in the 802.1d standard as "must always be filtered" addresses. The -11 address relates to the 802.1e load protocol. Are you SURE that that one came up by default? It makes no sense for the bridge to special-case that address. paul | |||||

The address 01-80-c2-00-00-11 did came up by default, NOT -10.
