Jonathan,
Thanks for getting back to me.
You are right. Multicast is not an option - at least with the versioin of
IOS I'm running, 12.3 something.
However, unicast is an option:
Rack1R6(config)#router isis TEST
Rack1R6(config-router)#addr
Rack1R6(config-router)#address-family ?
ipv6 Address family
Rack1R6(config-router)#address-family i
Rack1R6(config-router)#address-family ipv6 ?
unicast Address Family modifier
<cr>
Can you offer me any guidance on when and why I would use the unicast
option??
BTW, do you think Cisco's documentation would improve if every Cisco
certified person stopped recommending Cisco products
until the documentation improved? Personally, I don't think any about of
ranting would do one bit of good. But, causing Cisco earnings to miss
Wall Street forecasts would make a world of difference I'm sure.
TIA, Tim
