DVMRP Tunnels

Introduction

This routing switch supports the Distance Vector Multicast Routing

 

Protocol (DVMRP). This enables IP multicast packets to be encapsu-

 

lated in an IP header, and sent through a tunnel between two specific

 

switches on a network that does not support DVMRP routing. The

 

tunnel is defined using IP addresses, a source IP address and a desti-

 

nation IP address.
