Token-ring multicast

If OMPROUTE will be communicating through the OSPF or RIP Version 2 protocol over a token ring media, and there will be routers attached to that token ring that are not listening (at the DLC layer) for the token ring multicast MAC address 0xC000.0004.0000, the following TRANSLATE statement is required in the PROFILE.TCPIP:
TRANSLATE 224.0.0.0 IBMTR FFFFFFFFFFFF linkname

Without this statement, OSPF and RIP Version 2 multicast packets are discarded at the DLC layer by those routers that are not listening for the token ring multicast MAC address.

Restriction: The TRANSLATE statement cannot be used for OSA devices in QDIO mode.
