does pimd support cisco ip classless #207

Open teamblubee opened 2 years ago

teamblubee commented 2 years ago

I have come across an issue with communicating with a Cisco router.

ip classless

    At times the router might receive packets destined for a subnet of a network that has no network default route. To have the Cisco IOS software forward such packets to the best supernet route possible, use the ip classless global configuration command. To disable this feature, use the no form of this command.
    ip classless
    no ip classless
    Syntax Description

    This command has no arguments or keywords.

ip classless

Does pimd support this feature?

If I understand this correctly, this is a unicast IP routing configuration command. The only thing that may be relevant here, yet not a pimd feature, is Linux rp_filter. See the troubleshooting checklist. Remember, unlike mrouted (DVMRP), pimd works independent of the underlying unicast routing protocol, meaning if you can unicast ping between endpoints you have the network correctly set up to do multicast routing with pimd.

I know we've spoken before here, but when you report a problem or ask a question; please give more information about your operating system (are you using Linux?), the pimd version, and your use-case.
