    3: WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
    4: THIS RELEASE IS VERY ALPHA, SO PLEASE DO NOT REDISTRIBUTE AND
    5: DO NOT TRY IT OUTSIDE OF YOUR TESTBED.
    6: 
    7: This is README for pimd, the PIM multicast daemon.
    8: PIM-DM version: 2
    9: Check http://www.antc.uoregon.edu/ for lastest version.
   10: 
   11: SUPPORTED PLATFORMS: FreeBSD-2.2.1, SunOS-4.1.3, Solaris-2.5.1 and 2.6,
   12: SGI, BSDI 3.0/3.1
   13: 
   14: AVAILABLE PIM kernel patches: FreeBSD-2.2.1, FreeBSD-2.2.2, FreeBSD-2.2,5,
   15: 		SunOS-4.1.3, SGI, BSDI-3.0, BSDI-3.1
   16: 
   17: 
   18: FAST START (read "fast explanation" :))
   19: 
   20: 1. Apply the PIM kernel patches, recompile, reboot.
   21:    These contain necessary bug fixes to the ipmroute kernel code as well 
   22:    as stuff needed only for PIM-SM.
   23: 
   24: 2. Copy pimdd.conf to /etc and edit as appropriate. Disable the interfaces
   25: you don't need. Note that you need at least 2 physical interfaces enabled.
   26: 
   27: 3. Edit Makefile by uncommenting the line(s) corresponding to your platform.
   28: 
   29: 4. Recompile pimdd (you need to have the 'include' files patches applied)
   30: 
   31: 5. Run pimdd as a root. It is highly recommended to run it in debug mode.
   32: Because there are many debug messages, you can specify only a subset of
   33: the messages to be printed out:
   34: 
   35: usage: pimdd [-c configfile] [-d [debug_level][,debug_level]]
   36: 
   37: Valid debug levels: dvmrp_prunes,dvmrp_mrt,dvmrp_neighbors,dvmrp_timers,igmp_proto,igmp_timers,igmp_members,trace,timeout,pkt,interfaces,kernel,cache,rsrr,pim_hello,pim_register,pim_join_prune,pim_graft,pim_bootstrap,pim_asserts,pim_cand_rp,pim_routes,pim_timers,pim_rpf
   38: 
   39: If you want to see all messages, use "pimd -d" only.
   40: 
   41: 6. There are plenty of bugs, some of them known (check BUGS.TODO),
   42: some of them unknown, so your bug reports are mroe than welcome.

   59: 
   60:  * BSDI 3.0/3.1 support + various improvements and bug reports
