I'm running openwrt on a device and have a python script that listens and prints to screen multicast traffic on 239.2.1.1.
However nothing is being printed to the screen and I believe this is a firewall issue. How do I make sure that multicast traffic is being allowed in on a lan interface running openwrt?
I know it is bit late, but i guess it will help someone who is still looking for answer.
Install IGMPProxy
install igmpproxy
make menuconfig
-> Network
-> Routing and Redirection
Look for the package here in bin folder
AR9331 hardware:- bin/ar71xx/packages/base/igmpproxy_0.1-9_ar71xx.ipk
copy the ipk to openwrt router.
opkg install igmpproxy
/etc/init.d/igmpproxy start
Ensure you got this section in the /etc/config/firewall
config rule
option name Allow-IGMP
option src wan
option proto igmp
option family ipv4
option target ACCEPT
Ensure you got this section in /etc/config/igmpproxy
config igmpproxy
option quickleave 1
config phyint
option network wan
option direction upstream
list altnet 0.0.0.0/0
config phyint
option network lan
option direction downstream
Ensure the below in network config
In /etc/config/igmpproxy
config interface lan
option igmp_snooping 1
Also enable in br-lan
echo "0" > /sys/devices/virtual/net/br-lan/bridge/multicast_snooping
