<pre><code>Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">This seems to happen as soon as pimd tries to subscribe to a remote multicast source.<br />
I have just rebuild the pfSense VM to be a FreeBSD 11 64Bit machine where as before it was an other 32bit<br />
It has 3Gb memory and 2 CPU</p>
<p dir="auto">Basic idea is to have multicast groups been able to flow across site - for required groups.<br />
In the lab I have:</p>
<p dir="auto">MC Source -&gt; pfSense -&gt; LINK network -&gt; pfSense -&gt; MC Subscriber</p>
<p dir="auto">I have had this working with just one pfSense and the Source and Subscriber on two different vlans - Just need to give PIMD a BSR and RP candidate and then the Multicast works (firewall rules with the advanced allow extra options enabled)<br />
I used the link network above to take any Multicast though NAT been an issue (my home network is the WAN side of both pfSense machines)</p>
<p dir="auto">It seems to be the moment the subscribing pfSense router receives multicast traffic is when pfSense crashes</p>
