Im trying to use a classroom Management tool called ABTutor here. I have a network setup where staff and students are segregated (different vlans) and for the tool to work need to use multicasting.
I'm not an expert on this. I thought all i would need to do is setup multicasting on each vlan (on the core 5400 switch). using ip igmp command.
is there anything else i need to do?
do i need to set this command on all switches on the network (or just the core as it is doing the routing)?
Thanks in advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Multicast Question
Re: Multicast Question
Multicast: This method sends a multicast message on port 5151 to the networks multicast address. Multicast messages can traverse across subnet (see Subnets to Scan), but you must make sure the routers allow multicasting. This is especially important for Wireless routers as most have multicast turned off by default.
Now with this in mind. I would of thought i would have to forward the protocol on port 5151, However, I do not have a single source IP address. Can I just allow any IP address to broadcast on 5151?
Thanks

Re: Multicast Question
For PIM support you need the Premium Edge License installed.

Re: Multicast Question
Re: Multicast Question
Not what I wanted to hear about having to be the Premium Edge License.
You said you have to enable multcast globally? How do you do this? I dont see anything obvious.... That doesnt mean it doesnt exist.

Re: Multicast Question
Re: Multicast Question
To enable multicast routing (you'll kick yourself):
ProCurve Switch 5412zl(config)# ip multicast-routing
I'm looking at the doco for this application though and I'm not quite sure how it works with multicast, it's not clear at all. I'm wondering if it actually uses directed broadcasts instead to reach clients across VLANs.
To enable directed broadcasts:
ProCurve Switch 5412zl(config)# ip directed-broadcast
If that doesn't help, I would be interested in seeing a packet capture filtering UDP port 5151. You might be able to get this working without having to purchase the premium edge license if we can understand exactly how it works.

Re: Multicast Question
Don't worry about that for now, see if the directed-broadcast helps and see if you can get a packet capture to understand how this app actually works.

I've got a very good feeling that might just do the job.

Re: Multicast Question
One is ABtutor working as a broadcast, and One is it working as a multicast.
Thankd again Matt, your a champion.

SolutionSo Master laptop on VLAN 1 - 10.0.1.1/24
Clients on VLAN 2 - 10.0.2.1/24
Clients on VLAN 3 - 10.0.3.1/24
conf
ip udp-bcast-forward
vlan 1
ip forward-protocol udp 10.0.2.255 5151
ip forward-protocol udp 10.0.3.255 5151
In the next classroom, Master laptop on VLAN 2:
Clients on VLAN 1 - 10.0.1.1/24
Master laptop on VLAN 2 - 10.0.2.1/24
Clients on VLAN 3 - 10.0.3.1/24
conf
vlan 2
ip forward-protocol udp 10.0.1.255 5151
ip forward-protocol udp 10.0.3.255 5151
I'd then try using the standard broadcast option in the application (not the multicast).

Re: Multicast Question
Re: Multicast Question
I can also see in the second capture that it is definitely using multicast, so really you would need the premium edge license to route that if the first method doesn't work out.
If you have a 5300 somewhere you may be able to get that to be your multicast router (comes included) on the same network, but would need some creative thinking to get them to coexist.

The udp broadcast-forward did the trick.

Re: Multicast Question
Just glad to see you're making the most out of your original investment there. It's great to see the benefits you get with ProCurve, new features coming out for free all the time that often come in very handy down the track.
I'm sure that when you do need any upgrades to your network you'll know which vendor to stick with. That's worth more than a few premium edge licenses to HP.
