Redbook Abstract
Understanding and Using MSS Release 1.1 and 2.0, SG24-2115-01
  Abstract
This redbook will help you to understand and use the functions offered by MSS Server Releases 1.1 and 2.0. Proper understanding of the technology and following the configuration examples given in this publication will be helpful in designing and building an ATM network using IBM's Multiprotocol Switching Services. An overview of the functions provided by MSS Server Release 1.1 and a short description of each of the new functions is included. With MSS R2.0 new functions in addition to the new hardware are delivered. The major functions of MSS R2.0 are RouteSwitching, APPN routing, IP multicast over ATM, RFC 1577+ support, duplicate MAC address in SR-TB networks. These and other new functions are detailed in this redbook. Finally, due to its versatility, getting started with the MSS Server can sometimes create difficulties. Therefore, a number of configuration examples are provided. They can also be downloaded from the Internet at ftp://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/SG242115. A description is included on how to activate and verify each of the configurations.

We recommend that you read this publication in conjunction with "Understanding and Using the MSS Server", SG24-4915.
