Chapter 12: Configuring IP Routing

Overview

The Avaya Multiservice Switch supports the full suite of IP protocols for unicast and multicast packet routing and control. It is compatible with the installed base of IP routers and does not require changes to software in hosts or other routers. For Unicast, the Switch supports OSPF, RIP, and RIP2 interior gateway protocols. For Multicast, it implements IGMP, and DVMRP.
