network diagram

Does anyone know how could I setup pimd on Linux so that multicast address from 225.0.30.30 could route to 172.24.0.66/30 router on the right?

So this is the lab I just setup today, PoC network diagram host 1 IP config Router A IP config Router B IP config

In the lab environment, I changed IP so that I don't need to run another NAT setup. Router A and B is running pimd without any detail configuration, here is pimd -r detail for both routers: pimd -r detail on router A pimd -r detail on router B

After all parts glued together, I start fire "iperf -c 225.0.100.100 -u -t 1 -i 1" on host 1, and "iperf -s -u -B 225.0.100.100 -i 1" on router B; Router B receive no multicast at all, anyone know what's wrong with this?

EDIT: testing Everton's suggestion, result still nothing

test_igmpv3_join result from Router B:

Problem solved by running iperf on host 1 with -T 10 instead of default 1.

  • "pimd can define scope zones that are similar to mrouted. This enables you to prevent certain multicast prefixes to be forwarded beyond a certain network boundary. (For example, add phyint eth0 scoped 239.0.0.0 masklen 8 to your pimd.conf file.)" from PIM Operation and Daemons

  • this part I understand, but I don't think I got it working at all, can you try out in your lab as well please?

  • We're not here to do your PoC's. If you have any specific questions, please share configurations, routing information, logs, etc.

  • I don't have a Linux setup. Multicast HowTo mentions, "In the HowTo I mention both pimd and mrouted, since they work out-of-the-box w/o any config changes..."

  • Actually, the multicast routing capabilities of linux are completely crap. Hardcoded limits on interfaces due to limited bitfield constructs in the kernel, and forwarding rate is so slow as to be useless for almost any real work. (it'll work fine for ntp, but that's one packet every few minutes.)

1 Answer 1

Reset to default

This is a quick recipe using Quagga pimd:

1) Setup Host1 static default route towards RouterA (you could also use an static specific route for the multicast group).

2) Make sure Host1 source is sending multicast stream with proper TTL (high enough to reach the receivers).

3) Make sure unicast routing towards multicast source is correct on RouterA.

4) Run Quagga pimd on RouterA:

ATTENTION: pimd requires the zebra daemon: run zebra daemon before starting pimd.

! RouterA: interface to source
! (pimd is enabled on eth0 just to activate multicast on it)
interface eth0
 ip pim ssm

! RouterA: interface to RouterB
! (for this simple topology, we actually only need IGMP here)
interface eth1
 ip pim ssm
 ip igmp

5) Install Quagga pimd on RouterB, in order to run this IGMPv3 join tool:

RouterB: test_igmpv3_join eth1 225.0.30.30 192.168.18.132

6) Use Quagga pimd commands on RouterA to verify multicast. For instance:

RouterA: show ip mroute

RouterA: show ip mroute count

7) If things aren't working as expected, try pimd troubleshooting commands:

show ip rib 192.168.18.132 (unicast route towards source?)
show ip multicast          (multicast enabled at all?)
show ip mroute             (kernel mcast programming is correct?)
show ip pim interface      (pim enabled on interfaces?)
show ip igmp sources       (receiver joined on interface?)
show ip igmp interface     (igmp enabled on receiver interface?)

  • which quagga pimd project are you talking about? This one? Quagga Pimd

  • EDIT: OH, I just realized pimd have been integrated into Quagga on latest version.

  • I just tested, router A show ip mroute: nothing; mroute count, nothing; Did I miss anything on router B configuration? you said I should install Quagga pimd on Router B but no configuration?

  • First, pimd is reporting pim was disabled on eth0: '2016/01/28 13:55:16 PIM: pim_zebra.c fib_lookup_if_vif_index: pim disabled on interface eth0 vif_index=2 ?' Did you configure "ip pim ssm" under "int eth0" ?

  • Second, look at pimd troubleshooting commands: git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/quagga.git/tree/pimd/TROUBLESHOOTING
