Bug ID: 251047
Summary: Multicast: Not possible to add MFC entry's when
MAXVIFS = 64
Product: Base System
Version: Unspecified
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: kern
Assignee: [email protected]

*Problem description*
When using MAXVIFS=32 multicast is OK. However(!) it is failing with MAXVIFS =
64.
The problem is visual, when trying to add MFC entry's.
The call ^setsockopt(socket, IPPROTO_IP, MRT_ADD_MFC, (char *)&mc, sizeof(mc))^
result in ^Invalid argument^ for unkown reason.
Given that people need more than 32 VIFS nowadays, that is a problem.
Assuming MAXVIFS > 32 is supported, it is a bug.
I discovered the problem using FreeBSD12.1 now using 12.2-FINAL.
I did not test this on previous OS versions.
** Successful tests (for reference!) **
- Tests by ^troglobit^ with pimd (version3 beta) in conjunction with
FreeBSD12.2-final using MAXVIFS32 on a vm where successful
- Tests on pfSense version2.5 based on FreebSD 12.2 compiled with MAXVIFS32
where successful
- 20201111 After the test, I contacted Netgate (pfSense developer) which revert
the number of VIFS back to 32 ==> Problem gone !!
** Failing test **
- pfSense router running version2.5 based on FreebSD 12.2, FreebSD compiled
with MAXVIFS = 64
>>>> Here the test results <<<<
*Test setup details*
- all tests are based on pimd repository 20201105 and FreeBSD
12.2-Release/Stable
- it has no use testing with the formal pimd2, since it is NOT compatible with
FreeBSD12
- pimd is using ip_mroute.h mfcctl structs
- the tests which failed where performed using MAXVIFS64 builds, the succesful
testes builds using MAXVIFS32
- pfSence and pimd setup where identical during the tests
- extra tests where executed with debugstatements added to pimd
- my pfSense setup has Intel x520 for 2x10G, 2x Intel 1G as 1G-lagg, em0 as
internet connection
- all trafic is using VLAN's
