Default Can mrouted be used between vlans?

Hi,

currently I'm using IGMPProxy to get multicast packets between vlans, but this has a disadvantage in that packets can only flow upstream on one interface.

I've attempted configuring mrouted to do a similar thing but for some reason it doesn't work and unfortunately the log files are not being very helpful.


Here's my config:

Code:
phyint vlan1
phyint vlan2
I have also tried doing things like:

Code:
phyint vlan1 boundary 239.255.255.0/24
and

Code:
phyint vlan1 metric 1 threshold 1
phyint vlan2 metric 1 threshold 1
Looking at the /etc/mrouted.conf file there are a few examples out of which I got the above config.


Running "mrouted -d" gives the output:

Code:
19:58:12.779 Getting vifs from /etc/mrouted.conf
19:58:12.780 Installing vifs in mrouted...
[...]
pruning off
19:58:12.781 Installing vifs in kernel...
[...]
vifs_with_neighbors = 0

 0 vlanX  <ip>      subnet: <subnet>       1   1      0   querier
19:58:12.782 warning - SIOCGETVIFCNT fails

Multicast Routing Table (8 entries)
 Origin-Subnet      From-Gateway    Metric Tmr In-Vif  Out-Vifs
 <subnet>                      1     0   6    0* 1* 2* 3* 4* 5* 7* 
[...]

19:58:20.861 update 0 starting at 8 of 8
multicast routing is enabled in /etc/sysctl.conf too.

I'm wondering if I've misunderstood something and that mrouted is more like a dynamic routing protocol for multicast to be used between routers rather then in a single system between subnets?


Would someone mind helping me with this?


Thanks.

I've never done multicast routing. However, I note that there are two sysctls for routing. Be sure you've enabled both:
Code:
net.inet.ip.forwarding=1       # 1=Permit forwarding (routing) of IPv4 packets
net.inet.ip.mforwarding=1      # 1=Permit forwarding (routing) of IPv4 multicas
t packets

Yep both are enabled.... since the machine is a router.

What's weird is that Igmpproxy works fine and yet I can't seem to translate the config over to mrouted...

sparky, henning@ is revising the vlan driver. Work is ongoing, as I've seen patches continuing in the last 24 hours. When they reach a snapshot you may want to test his changes to see if they have an impact on this issue.

Many thanks for the info and sorry for the late response.

For some reason after the upgrade that I performed igmpproxy doesn't work any more??

Currently am running:

Code:
pkg_add -Uu
however, I am getting a similar message throughout....

Quote:
Can't install <pkg> because of libraries

How would I go about fixing that?

Basically I need to know Which libraries are the issue and then how to fix those particular libraries....

{EDIT}

Found... I think the issue:

Code:
|library c.74.1 not found
| /usr/lib/libc.so.70.0 (system): bad major
| /usr/lib/libc.so.74.0 (system): minor is too small
Can't install libiconv-1.14p1 because of libraries
Can't install db-4.6.21p0v0 because of libraries
apache-httpd-2.2.27:.libs-apr-util-1.4.1p2+apr-util-1.5.3->apr-util-1.5.3p0: ok
Can't install pcre-8.33 because of libraries
Can't install apache-httpd-2.2.27 because of libraries
|library crypto.26.0 not found
| /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.23.0 (system): bad major
|library ssl.24.0 not found
Also just found this:

http://daemonforums.org/showthread.php?t=5375

Could this be as suggested that the PKG_PATH variable is pointing to the wrong place?? Though I never recall setting that as I went straight to Ports.

{EDIT2}

Code:
# echo $PKG_PATH
ftp://mirror.exonetric.net/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/amd64/
That looks correct to me?

Your local mirror has packages dated April 22. I don't know the age of your snapshot, but I assume it is more recent. Looking at the source for snapshot packages (ftp.openbsd.org), there was an update to the "snapshot packages" for your architecture on April 24.

There have been library changes to -current since your packages were built. FAQ 15.4.1 applies.

You can either wait for your mirror to refresh, point to another nearby mirror that has already refreshed, or build packages from ports.

The "snapshot packages" are provided solely as a convenience for popular architectures and there is no synchronization provided. I use a lot of i386-current, and the snapshot packages for that architecture are often are a week ahead of the snapshots themselves.
