Hi All,

    Since from few days I am working on XORP for setting up multicast routing(PIM-SM4) on a Fedora 8 system. It compiled easily without any problems and today I executed it with proper(i think ;) ) configuration and it's running. 

Now I have few doubts and they are:

	* How to cross-check that my XORP installation was running properly?
	* What is "static-rps" and what's the use of this in multicast routing(PIM-SM4)?
Here I am listing out my fedora 8 system configuration and the XORP configuration(i.e. config.boot).

OS: fedora 8
Ethernet interface: eth0(ipv4, 172.22.22.200 --> intel 82566DC, gigabit card) 

 ==>start of config.boot:

/* $XORP: xorp/rtrmgr/config/multicast4.boot,v 1.1 2007/08/29 06:49:43 pavlin Exp $ */

interfaces {
    interface eth0 {
        default-system-config
    }
}

fea {
    unicast-forwarding4 {
        disable: false
    }
}

plumbing {
    mfea4 {
        interface eth0 {
            vif eth0 {
                disable: false
            }
        }
        interface register_vif {
            vif register_vif {
                /* Note: this vif should be always enabled */
                disable: false
            }
        }
        traceoptions {
            flag all {
                disable: false
            }
        }
    }
}

protocols {
    igmp {
        interface eth0 {
            vif eth0 {
                disable: false
            }
        }
        traceoptions {
            flag all {
                disable: false
            }
        }
    }
}

protocols {
    pimsm4 {
        interface eth0 {
            vif eth0 {
                disable: false
            }
        }
        interface register_vif {
            vif register_vif {
                /* Note: this vif should be always enabled */
                disable: false
            }
        }
        static-rps {
            rp 193.191.0.254 {
                group-prefix 224.0.0.0/4 {
                    rp-priority: 192
                    hash-mask-len: 30
                }
            }
        }
        switch-to-spt-threshold {
            disable: false
            interval: 100
            bytes: 102400
        }
        traceoptions {
            flag all {
                disable: false
            }
        }
    }
}

protocols {
    fib2mrib {
        disable: false
    }
}

==>End of config.boot

I am newbie to this XORP and multicast routing. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Suman
