[j-nsp] Olive question - PIM not working

[Thiago Drechsel - Gmail]

Hi Jonathan.

That's a good point for the future :-(
But the problem is that I can't even establish PIM neighbors, with
simple multicast packets.
I can se PIM hello messages leaving olive, reaching my physical eth
interface, but I can't see PIM hello entering olive.

I think Olive OR VMware are unable to handle incoming PIM packets (not
multicast packets, since OSPF, LDP are working fine with default
configuration)

I'll investigate and find the culprit!

Ideas are welcome!

Best regards.

Thiago

Just a guess: depending on the PIM mode you are using, you may need a
tunnel PIC (or equivalent - AS/MS PIC) in your RP to handle PIM
decapsulation. As the Olive doesn't have a tunnel PIC, that may pose a
problem.

        I have Olive boxes based on VMWare. I can connect these routers
        together with vlan-id tag since FreeBSD has been patched with
        syscall11.ko. Multicast seems to work, since ospf, rip and ldp
        have worked well between two
        routers.
        
        
        Olive Box (Junos 8.5R1.14)
        
        [Olive1]--em0.1-----------------------------em0.1--[Olive2]
        
        
        Unfortunately, PIM does not seem to work.
        
        
        Again, multicast has already been passed through those
        interfaces
        because I am running ospf and ldp on both routers and between
        external applications.
        
        Did anyone have the same problem? Any clue??
        
        Thanks in advance!
