I am starting to look at multicast routing a little closer now. I
have a question about its functionality. If I have the following
configuration
MS---(e0)R1(s0)-------(s0)R2(e0)----(e0)R3(s0)-------(s0)R4(e0)----(e0
)R3(s0)-------(s0)R5(e0)----(e0)R6(s0)-------(s0)R7(e0)------MC
Where MS is a multicast server and MC is a multicast client, do I need
to enable multicast routing on all routers and pim on all router
interfaces?
I know that I receive multicast traffic on my internet connection but
my isp is not routing multicast traffic explicitly. That is, to say,
it is not running pim. What about 224.0.0.5 (ALLSPFROUTERS)? You
dont have to enable multicast routing to get that across your
network. Where do you have to enable it and where dont you have to
enable it?
I am so confused!!! Any help is greatly appreciated!
