Test Scripts for multicast addresses problems with bcm5700 none

Description Michael Brock 2001-09-28 20:30:05 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)

Description of problem:
Server has 4 broadcom cards (bcm5700.o) and doesn't register all of the 
multicast addresses on the attached networks.  Some multicast addresses do 
get reserved, but others do not.  No consistancy as far as which addresses 
do or do not get reserved.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run the listen script on the server (that would be the machine w/ the 
bcm5700) to listen for the multicast registration (attached)
2. Run the register script on a client to generate the mutlicast 
registration

Actual Results:  Not all of the multicast addresses show up as registered.

Expected Results:  All of the multicast addresses should be registered.

Additional info:

For these scripts to run properly, you'll need IBM's Java VM installled.

Has this been reported to broadcom?
Comment 3 Arjan van de Ven 2001-12-06 17:10:28 UTC 
iirc Broadcom already sent us a fix included in 2.4.9-13
