WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
|
||
|
|
THIS RELEASE IS VERY ALPHA, SO PLEASE DO NOT REDISTRIBUTE AND
|
||
|
|
DO NOT TRY IT OUTSIDE OF YOUR TESTBED.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is README for pimd, the PIM multicast daemon.
|
||
|
|
PIM-SM version: 2
|
||
|
|
Check ftp://catarina.usc.edu/pub/pim/pimd/ for lastest version.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SUPPORTED PLATFORMS: FreeBSD-2.2.*, SunOS-4.1.3, Solaris-2.5.1 and 2.6,
|
||
|
|
SGI, BSDI 3.0/3.1, NetBSD-1.3
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
AVAILABLE PIM kernel patches: FreeBSD-2.2.1, FreeBSD-2.2.2, FreeBSD-2.2,5,
|
||
|
|
SunOS-4.1.3, SGI, BSDI-3.0, BSDI-3.1, NetBSD-1.3
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Linux: pimd compiles under Linux, and linux-2.1.103 seems to have PIM-SMv2
|
||
|
|
kernel support, but I haven't tested whether the kernel patches really work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
FAST START (read "fast explanation" :))
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Apply the PIM kernel patches, recompile, reboot
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Copy pimd.conf to /etc and edit as appropriate. Disable the interfaces
|
||
|
|
you don't need. Note that you need at least 2 physical interfaces enabled.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Edit Makefile by uncommenting the line(s) corresponding to your platform.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Recompile pimd
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. Run pimd as a root. It is highly recommended to run it in debug mode.
|
||
|
|
Because there are many debug messages, you can specify only a subset of
|
||
|
|
the messages to be printed out:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
usage: pimd [-c configfile] [-d [debug_level][,debug_level]]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Valid debug levels: dvmrp_prunes,dvmrp_mrt,dvmrp_neighbors,dvmrp_timers,igmp_proto,igmp_timers,igmp_members,trace,timeout,pkt,interfaces,kernel,cache,rsrr,pim_hello,pim_register,pim_join_prune,pim_bootstrap,pim_asserts,pim_cand_rp,pim_routes,pim_timers,pim_rpf
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to see all messages, use "pimd -d" only.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
6. Note that it takes of the order of 30 seconds to 1 minute until the
|
||
|
|
Bootstrap router is elected and the RP-set distributed to the PIM routers,
|
||
|
|
and without the RP-set in the routers the multicast packets cannot be
|
||
|
|
forwarded.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
7. There are plenty of bugs, some of them known (check BUGS.TODO),
|
||
|
|
some of them unknown, so your bug reports are more than welcome.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The PIM kernel modifications and pimd itself were originally
|
||
|
|
written by Ahmed Helmy (ahelmy@catarina.usc.edu) as a summer intern in SGI.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The "up to the March '97 I-D spec" + RSVP support pimd version was done
|
||
|
|
during my summer'97 intern in Sun Microsystems under Michael Speer's
|
||
|
|
supervision.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
