In most cases, the absence of multicast data is caused by network-related configuration issues described below.
Usually, updating firewall rules or simply turning it off solves the issue.
Usually, disabling reverse path filtering by updating system control parameters resolves the issue.
System control parameters (/etc/sysctl.conf
) affecting reverse path filtering:
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter | Defines default policy. |
net.ipv4.conf.*NetworkInterface*.rp_filter | Defines policy for the NetworkInterface network interface. |
To determine the current status of reverse path filtering, run the command below:
To disable reverse path filtering, run the following command:
If the network configuration requires specifying the network interface explicitly, the OnixS::CME::MDH::FeedSettings::feedANetworkInterfaces and OnixS::CME::MDH::FeedSettings::feedBNetworkInterfaces parameters must be updated accordingly.
