I’ve done some trivial troubleshooting, and it seems that the ‘RequestClientInfo’ action is not taking place thus the plugin is never being called to run.

I’ve tried installing the FOG Client (rather than relying on the machine booting to fog via PXE), and power cycling a test machine, but this did not make a difference.

Reviewing previous forum post @mattmurdock78 had a similar issue and wrote a trigger, unfortunately the file he attached is not available.

@Tom-Elliott, I understand you were not the main author of the plugin but if you have the opportunity to review and advise if the plugin ‘should’ be working or is deprecated and potentially how I can try to proceed it would be greatly appreciated.

My RP address was not pointing to my FOG server 🤦

Once this was adjusted, multicast is functional. Definitely a good reminder to start small.

I found the issue!

The udpsender path on my system was “/usr/sbin/udp-sender”

The path that is set within config.class.php is:

define('UDPSENDERPATH', '/usr/local/sbin/udp-sender');

I ran the following and restarted the FOGMulticastManager to resolve:

sudo ln -s /usr/sbin/udp-sender /usr/local/sbin/udp-sender

And we have logs now! Time to begin multicast testing 🥳
