[Xorp-users] Simple multicast configuration

[Sanchez]

    How do I run tcpdump on LiveCD? It only allows me a few commands:

configure
exit
help
ping
ping6
quit
show
traceroute
traceroute6

    I also stopped it before it loaded where it says
"Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt".
    Here it also allows me only a few commands:

reboot
heap
bcachestat
....
...
lsmod
pnpscan

    I see the "ls" command is included, but not the "cd" command, so I can't even navigate to the "usr/sbin..." directory. Btw I'm not very proficient with freebsd, am I missing anything?

Thank you for the info.
It appears that XORP doesn't see any IGMP reports from the WinXP
hosts, because the "show igmp group" doesn't show anything about
multicast membership from the WinXP hosts.
Also, the multicast traffic from the sender probably didn't
reach XORP, otherwise "show pim join" should show (S,G) entry for
the directly-connected senders.

Which machine did you use to run Ethereal? The Windows machine or
the XORP box?
If you used the Windows machine, please run "tcpdump" on the XORP
box to make sure that the multicast packets (IGMP Joins and
multicast data packets) really reach it.

FYI, in case you are not familiar with tcpdump, you could use the
following command to print everything on interface lnc0:

/usr/sbin/tcpdump -i lnc0 -n -vvv -s 0 -x

See the tcpdump(1) manual page for details in case you need to
filter and print only some of the packets.
