Nortel Passport 8010 and Multicasting

[moapple]

What needs to be enabled/disabled on a Nortel Passport 8010 to allow a server in one VLAN to Ghost (multicast an image) to a system in another VLAN?

We have a Ghost server that resides in one VLAN that needs to be able to broadcast image to additional VLANs.

Our ghost server is running IP XXX.XXX.72.100
in one VLAN with IPs
XXX.XXX.72.1 – XXX.XXX.72.255
We need to be able to image to system in our other VLANs
XXX.XXX.73.1 – XXX.XXX.73.255
XXX.XXX.69.1 – XXX.XXX.69.255
Etc.

What you will need to enable is a mulitcast relay protcol this can either be DVRMP or PIM. Older versions of code may not support PIM.

Enable DVMRP globally and then on each VLAN and then the mulitcast will be routed across the passwort to the other VLAN

Let me know how you get on

Thanks for the suggestion. I now have enabled DVRMP. However, I now have another problem.
The pc starts to contacts the server and receives a reply, but never starts to image.
The pc evently errors out.
Error Code 19906
Has anyone ran into this?
Symantec and Nortel are not being much help!

To get things working, why not create a VLAN on your server for each subnet you need to Ghost to.
Most Server NICs -except Apple- support VLAN trunking these days.

It works for us.
