In case of IPv4 multicast routing (only) you need to configure the
following sections: interfaces, fea (without Click), mfea4, igmp,
pimsm4, fib2mrib. The config.boot.sample can be a starting point
(after removing the unnecessary sections of course), and then you
can use the XORP user manual as a reference how to configure each
section. Also, make sure that your Linux kernel is configured
to support multicast forwarding and PIM-SM (this is described in the
user manual).
