imunro01 Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 We have been successfully running a FOG server under Fedora 10, and finding it most useful to be able to multicast an image to a suite of PC's Recently, FOG has stopped multi-casting, although it will still work fine in uni-cast mode. We have made no changes to our netowrk infrastructure as far as I can see. Has anyone any sggestions as to why this has occured Cheers Iain
Geoff Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 Run the following command: cat /proc/net/igmp and post the output.

imunro01 Posted August 3, 2009 Author Posted August 3, 2009 (edited) I get 1 packet sent and 1 received. - strangely it's one of our photocopiers that has sent the reply PING 224.0.0.1 (224.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.3.100: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.308 ms --- 224.0.0.1 ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.308/0.308/0.308/0.000 ms Edited August 4, 2009 by imunro01
Geoff Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 Ok, can you run that command again and change the count to two? Late nights cause typos

Geoff Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 Ok everything you got a ping back from is talking multicast. Check what switches they live on. This should hopefully narrow things down to one or more switches that are causing you problems.
Frazer Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) Sorry to tag onto the end of this but my problem is relevant Ive now got most of my machines imaged using unicast (couldnt faff around with multicast for too long as they had to be done). Now that ive one ict suite left ive tried multicasting again. First problem was SQL password issues from the logs (reset root mysql pass and sorted that). I queued a multicast image for 30 pcs (all on the same HP switch, same HP PC/network card, igmp snooping enabled across all switches) They all boot from pxe, 'please wait' while they all prepare themselves, once all have got to this stage, 20 out of 30 PCs start on the next screen (the actual imaging) while the rest just stay on 'please wait' Ive ran through what Geoff suggested earlier and got the following: root@hhfog:/opt/fog_0.27/bin# cat /proc/net/igmp Idx Device : Count Querier Group Users Timer Reporter 1 lo : 1 V3 010000E0 1 0:00000000 0 2 eth0 : 1 V2 010000E0 1 0:00000000 0 root@hhfog:/opt/fog_0.27/bin# ping -c1 224.0.0.1 PING 224.0.0.1 (224.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.250.10: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.507 ms root@hhfog:/opt/fog_0.27/bin# ping -c2 224.0.0.1 PING 224.0.0.1 (224.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.250.10: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.283 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.4.235: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.379 ms (DUP!) 64 bytes from 192.168.4.50: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.463 ms (DUP!) 64 bytes from 192.168.4.13: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.524 ms (DUP!) 64 bytes from 192.168.4.27: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.617 ms (DUP!) 64 bytes from 192.168.4.9: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.621 ms (DUP!) 64 bytes from 192.168.8.233: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.784 ms (DUP!) 64 bytes from 192.168.9.101: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.03 ms (DUP!) 64 bytes from 192.168.250.17: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.11 ms (DUP!) 64 bytes from 192.168.250.11: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.12 ms (DUP!) 64 bytes from 192.168.250.18: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.12 ms (DUP!) 64 bytes from 192.168.250.22: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.12 ms (DUP!) 64 bytes from 192.168.250.16: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.15 ms (DUP!) 64 bytes from 192.168.250.21: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.15 ms (DUP!) 64 bytes from 192.168.250.26: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.16 ms (DUP!) 64 bytes from 192.168.250.24: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.19 ms (DUP!) 64 bytes from 192.168.250.14: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.20 ms (DUP!) 64 bytes from 192.168.250.12: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.34 ms (DUP!) 64 bytes from 192.168.250.13: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.36 ms (DUP!) 64 bytes from 192.168.250.20: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.60 ms (DUP!) 64 bytes from 192.168.250.15: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.84 ms (DUP!) 64 bytes from 192.168.3.240: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=6.93 ms (DUP!) 64 bytes from 192.168.250.10: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.252 ms --- 224.0.0.1 ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 received, +21 duplicates, 0% packet loss, time 1000ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.252/1.235/6.933/1.281 ms Subnet mask is 255.255.0.0 192.168.4.x - all hp printers 192.168.3.240 - hp printer 192.168.8.233 - netgear wag102 wireless access point (have various ones of these around school, must be left on somewhere) 192.168.9.101 - KCORP lifestyle wireless router (used as access point only) 192.16.250.x - HP switches HP Printers have ipx/spx & appletalk turned off. Now its found these are replying, what am I supposed to do about it? or is this normal? Its also doing about 100MB/minute, where 10x unicast were doing about 700MB/minute (1gbit server) See multicast logs on next post (too long!)
