[Xorp-users] help testing multicast config

[Ron Young]

Hi everyone:

   I'm brand new to xorp & multicasting and would like some ideas on how to 
   test my xorp configuration. The configuration was gleaned from previous
   xorp postings. I have attached a copy of the conf file below. Xorp is 
   running on ubuntu server 9.04.

   Interface eth1 is the connection to the internet (aaa.bbb.220.194/30).
   Interface eth2 is the connection to the internal net (aaa.bbb.118.0/24).

   When I run ssmping from the xorp router, I get the unicast replies but 
   no multicast replies. Is this to be expected if there no multicast
   clients joined in a group?

   Any help would be appreciated, thanks
