Send any bugs or issues to Hugo Santos <hugo@fivebits.net>
Features
--------
- Extensible modular design;
- MLDv1 and MLDv2 support (mld);
* MLD Proxying (mld);
- PIM-SM support (ASM and SSM) (pim);
* Bootstrap (BSR) Mechanism support (pim);
* Static RP configuration (pim);
* Embedded-RP support (RFC 3956);
- partial MBGP support (bgp);
* Implements basic BGP4 mechanisms (IPv6 Multicast SAFI)
to update local MRIB from MBGP info;
- Supports both native and virtual (tunnel) interfaces
(tested IPv6-IPv4, IPv6-IPv6 and TUN/TAP tunnels);
- Abstract Forwarding Interface (MFA) with user-space module;
- Remote configuration and online administration (console);
Building
--------
Read the included INSTALL file.
Running
-------
Usage `mrd [options]`
* Options
-D Run MRD in the background
-f <conf> Use `conf` as the configuration file. The default configuration
file is '/etc/mrd.conf' or if it doesn't exist, the 'mrd.conf'
file in the running directory.
Configuration File
------------------
The configuration file follows a hierarchical definition using `identifier { ... }` blocks.
The `interfaces` and `groups` keywords specify both interface and group configuration.
* Example
pim {
enable bsr-candidate; /* we are a BSR candidate */
enable rp-candidate; /* we are a RP candidate */
}
groups {
ff0e::/16 {
pim {
enable rp_adv; /* include this group in the RP advertisement */
}
}
}
There are several example configuration files included in the src/confs/ directory.
Console
-------
The console module (which is enabled by default) allows you to to
control/monitor mrd remotely by using the included 'mrd6sh' program. You may
also connect remotely directly to mrd using a standard telnet program and
connecting to port 44510.
telnet -6 ::1 44510
