Updated PIMD package (beta)
-
If you have a media-server in one (v)lan and you need to access the media server from one ore more other (v)lan's, you need a package like PIMD.
Since the formally released PIMD version is quite old and that version does not work any more. I did decide to build a version based on:
- FreeBSD15 current
- the never released PIMD-beta and
https://github.com/troglobit/pimd (master branche) and - the old PIMD GUI from Netgate
Both repository did need some minor modifications.
I the packages available here:
Try and use them on your own risk!At this moment I have them running on the actual pfSense+ beta, and I assume it will also run on the actual pfSense community edition. I have been using a previous build during the previous years. Without issues
Some notes:
- to install the packages, you have to login via SSH
- goto shell
- copy the two packages to e.g. /root/mypackages
- first install the pimd3 package
- then install the pfsense GUI package
- configure pimd via the gui, do not forget to set ttl in the interface tab on two
- allow multicast traffic between the involved (v)lans
- you can also check if pimd is running via the cmd-line using 'pimctl show'
- I can not and will not officially support these packages !!
Enjoy!
