Hi,

I am trying to validate multicast between 2 servers using the mcasttest,pl script.

Here is the full command:
perl ./mcasttest.pl -n host1,host2 -i eth0.116 -m 229.0.0.0

All ssh tests passed and the multicast failed:

########### testing Multicast on all nodes ##########

I am not sure what is the problem.
Multicast definitely should work on this vlan.

Maybe the network interfaces configuration is not correct?

Any idea?
Thanks!
