Ok, dumb question I know, but I have to ask (I've learned never to assume
anything): can you unicast ping the router that you're trying to get a respons
e
from via multicast? I just want to make sure we have connectivity. Several
other items:

- I would assume you're using "ip igmp join-group x.x.x.x" and not "ip igmp
static-group x.x.x.x" on the router? The router will only respond if using
join-group, not static-group
- Is the join-group command on the outbound interface on the router in question
?
It won't work if it's on an incoming interface. PIM enabled on the pertinent
interfaces? ip multicast-routing configured (pim will work without
multicast-routing being enabled, multicast traffic just won't be routed
(forwarded).
- do a debug ip mpacket on the next-hop router from where you're doing the ping
(use "no ip mroute-cache" on the interfaces so you can see the debugs). Do you
see the multicast packets come in?
- if you don't see the debugs, do "show ip mroute x.x.x.x", do you see the (S,G
)
(source ip, multicast group) entry?
- if you see the (S,G) for the group, do "show ip mroute x.x.x.x count" and loo
k
at the counters for the group. You should see the "forward" value incrementing
,
repeat the command to see if it does. Also, check the last three values (there'
s
two sets of values, four in the first set I believe and three in the second set
),
you should see the first value incrementing but not the second one (at least n
ot
by much, if using dense mode you will see it increment a few packets every thre
e
minutes when we flood out every interface, resulting in rpf failures on some of
the interfaces).
- keep going router by router and see at what point we don't have an entry othe
r
than null in the outbound interface list.

Should it still not work, go to enable mode and capture "show tech ipmulticast"
and send me the output from the various routers will the ping is in progress.
Note: ipmulticast is one word in the command. Thanks,

Brian
