Multicast with PIM-SM

This lab show a multicast routing example using PIM in Sparse Mode.

Presentation

Network diagram

Here is the logical and physical view:

Setting-up the lab

Downloading BSD Router Project images

Download BSDRP serial image (prevent to have to use an X display) on Sourceforge.

Download Lab scripts

More information on these BSDRP lab scripts available on How to build a BSDRP router lab.

Start the lab with 4 routers simulating an e1000 NIC (vtnet interface and they didn't support mcast routing on FreeBSD):

BSDRP-lab-bhyve.sh -n 4 -e -i BSDRP-1.702-full-amd64-serial.img.xz
BSD Router Project (http://bsdrp.net) - bhyve full-meshed lab script
Setting-up a virtual lab with 4 VM(s):
- Working directory: /tmp/BSDRP
- Each VM have 1 core(s) and 256M RAM
- Emulated NIC: e1000
- Switch mode: bridge + tap
- 0 LAN(s) between all VM
- Full mesh Ethernet links between each VM
VM 1 have the following NIC:
- vtnet0 connected to VM 2
- vtnet1 connected to VM 3
- vtnet2 connected to VM 4
VM 2 have the following NIC:
- vtnet0 connected to VM 1
- vtnet1 connected to VM 3
- vtnet2 connected to VM 4
VM 3 have the following NIC:
- vtnet0 connected to VM 1
- vtnet1 connected to VM 2
- vtnet2 connected to VM 4
VM 4 have the following NIC:
- vtnet0 connected to VM 1
- vtnet1 connected to VM 2
- vtnet2 connected to VM 3
For connecting to VM'serial console, you can use:
- VM 1 : cu -l /dev/nmdm1B
- VM 2 : cu -l /dev/nmdm2B
- VM 3 : cu -l /dev/nmdm3B
- VM 4 : cu -l /dev/nmdm4B

Routers configuration

Router 1

Configuration:

sysrc hostname=VM1 \
 gateway_enable=no \
 ipv6_gateway_enable=no \
 ifconfig_em0="inet 10.0.12.1/24" \
 defaultrouter=10.0.12.254
hostname VM1
service netif restart
service routing restart
config save

Router 2

VM2 is a PIM router that announce itself (10.0.23.2) as Canditate RP with and adv period of 10 seconds and high priority (will be the rendez-vous point).

sysrc hostname=VM2 \
 ifconfig_em0="inet 10.0.12.254/24" \
 ifconfig_em1="inet 10.0.23.2/24" \
 defaultrouter=10.0.23.3 \
 pimd_enable=yes

cat > /usr/local/etc/pimd.conf <<EOF
rp-candidate 10.0.23.2 time 10 priority 1
#rp-address 10.0.23.2

EOF

hostname VM2
service netif restart
service routing restart
service pimd start
config save

Router 3

We would VM3 annonces hitself (10.0.23.3) as a Canditate BootStrap Router with high priority.

sysrc hostname=VM3 \
 ifconfig_em1="inet 10.0.23.3/24" \
 ifconfig_em2="inet 10.0.34.254/24" \
 defaultrouter=10.0.23.2 \
 pimd_enable=yes

cat > /usr/local/etc/pimd.conf <<EOF
bsr-candidate 10.0.23.3 priority 1
#rp-address 10.0.23.2
EOF

hostname VM3
service netif restart
service routing restart
service pimd start
config save

Router 4

sysrc hostname=VM4 \
 gateway_enable=no \
 ipv6_gateway_enable=no \
 ifconfig_em2="inet 10.0.34.4/24" \
 defaultrouter=10.0.34.254
hostname VM4
service netif restart
service routing restart
config save

Checking pimd behavior

PIM neighbors

Does the PIM routers see each others ?

Does PIM daemon locally register to PIM mcast group ?

PIM router need to register to 224.0.0.13 mcast group, check if all PIM routers correctly display this group on their enabled interfaces:

                        mcast-macaddr 33:33:ff:03:03:03 refcnt 1

We correctly sees mcast group 224.0.0.13 subscribed on PIM enabled interfaces.

Testing

1. Sart a mcast generator (IPerf client) on VM1

Start an iperf client to 239.1.1.1.

[root@VM1]~# iperf -c 239.1.1.1 -u -T 32 -t 3000 -i 1
------------------------------------------------------------

[  3]  3.0- 4.0 sec   128 KBytes  1.05 Mbits/sec

2. Check VM2 updates its mrouting table with discovered mcast source

PIM daemon should be updated:

[root@VM2]~# pimd -r

IPv6 Multicast Interface Table is empty

IPv6 Multicast Forwarding Table is empty

VM2 had update its mroute table for adding a source for group 239.1.1.1 comming from vif0 (toward VM1).

3. Start a mcast receiver (IPerf server) on VM4

IPerf server will subscribe to 239.1.1.1 multicast group and receiving mcast traffic:

[root@VM4]~# iperf -s -u -B 239.1.1.1 -i 1

4. Check VM3 correctly notice this mcast subscriber

Now the mrouting table of VM3 is updated and know it has a customer:

[root@VM3]~# pimd -r
