Ifconfig showed multicast enabled by default so I didn't have to do anything special for that. Smcroute (http://www.cschill.de/smcroute/) is a static multicast router so you have to specify the source IP as well as the multicast group to forward. This works fine for data distribution from one or a few known sources but wouldn't handle dynamic changes well. You just start the daemon with: smcroute -d wait few seconds for it to set up, then specify the join on the listening interface like: smcroute -j eth0 224.1.193.4 and add the route to forward: smcroute -a eth0 10.207.196.6 224.1.193.4 tun0 with the source interface, source address, group address and destination interface respectively. On the other end you'd be forwarding from tun0 to eth0 instead. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx ______________________ OpenVPN mailing lists https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users |
