I am looking for the actual Pseudo-MAC addresses for a TP4 imnplementation for the ES.IS-ES Group Multicast and the ES.IS-IS Group Multicast. I understand that there was a TOP/NetBIOS discussion that got blessed by the NIST on this regard, but have yet to find any paper documention on this subject. I need help! Here is what I found: IS-ES: 09002b000004 but my router thinks differently! I found it wants: IS-ES: 030000000200 (cisco...) Has there been an addendum or change to the 1988 NIST agreement? IS cisco wrong on this matter? I can edit the initialization tables to conform to cisco's router, but am concerned that this will preclude my ability to connect to a multi-vendor OSI/NetBIOS network...yes? -- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Carlo Milono: cmilono@netcom.apple.com or apple!netcom!cmilono | |"When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, | |that the dunces are all in confederacy against him." - Jonathan Swift | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+

I have attempted, unsuccessfully, to contact the original poster of this query. Apparently we have a bug under some circumstances. If anyone is seeing anything other than the correct values, please send mail to cs@cisco.com. Paulina

NIST Stable Implementation Agreements Ver.2 Ed.4 agrees... ALL-ES= 09 00 2B 00 00 04 ALL-IS= 09 00 2b 00 00 05 Our Cisco MGS uses these addresses also. Steve Russert .
