[f-nsp] Multicasting config example?

[Bjørn Skovlund Rydén]

Hi all,

I got some very positive feedback off-list, which has gotten me a bit further. I'm still a bit puzzled with a few things, but I've attached a config below, which is working to some extent.

This got me as far as being able to send a multicast stream from a computer on eth 2/3 to a set-top box on eth 2/4. Now if I try to enable "ip pim-sparse" on eth 2/7 which should go to a FESX, my multicasting from 2/3 to 2/4 breaks(!?) Can someone explain this to me?

Cheers, Bjørn

Current configuration:
!
ver V4.0.0aT163

Hi,
Could you post your testing configuration and test scenario so that we could know what you are exactly trying to test.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

Sorry to bother you for this, but my technical friend at Foundry seems to have gone on vacation for a few weeks, and I'd like to get on with this.

We're running a mesh of 6 MLX's with distribution rings based on FES/FESX. I'm now starting to look at multicasting and having read back and forth in the config-guide, I'm still a bit clueless as to how to get the simplest thing to work.

I would like to receive multicast traffic on a VLAN on MLX A and have recipient on MLX B on a routed interface. Very basic stuff, I'd say, but after a day in the test-lab, I'm still not successful :( So can someone give me the most basic configuration example on how to do this?

Kind regards,
Bjørn
