---------------
You need to enable multicast and multicast-routing in your kernel:
CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST=y
CONFIG_IP_MROUTE=y
you have also enable support for PIM-SM v2 in kernel:
CONFIG_IP_PIMSM_V2=y
If you want to build a multicast tunnel via an unicast connection, you
have to enable ip-tunneling to:
CONFIG_NET_IPIP=m (or =y)
The default configuration of pimd is to route between two and more interfaces,
and start AutoRP. For more details see the manpage and program documentation.
Support for staticRP is available since pimd_2.1.0-alpha29.17-4. Patch provided
by Peter Mann <Peter.Mann@tuke.sk>. There is new configuratation parameter:
rp_address

promising.
