[Xorp-users] Problems with XORP - seeing error 102 - 102 Command failed Cannot enable vif register_vif: no such vif[edit protocols pimsm4]

[Neeraj Prasad]

Hello,

First of all thank you to all XORP developer for doing such a great job.

I am a new user of XORP and am using XOPR for some testing. I am using LIVE
CD v1.3 and I am facing certain problems -

1) If I change connection during runtime, i.e. XORP is up and running some
interface goes down showing message 'NO CARRIER'. I need to restart the
system
2) I am not able to add register_vif interface. I have successfully added
the other physical interface for PIMSM4. When I try to add register_vif, it
gives an error saying vif register_vif does not exist. I did following
things serially


What all I did -
- Connected Physical Interfaces
- Restarted PC with XORP Live CD v1.3
- Selected the interfaces during startup
- When system booted up, I configured the interface address and verified
using ping

- Enabled PIM routing process (set protocols pimsm4)
- Added interface name to the pimsm4

- Now when I add special register_vif I get an error

And since it is mandatory to have the special vif installed, PIM is not
working. Can someone guide me how to do it
