RE: Multicast in NBMA

Not real strong with multicast but I do know that if you have a multipoint
interface running pim you should also add the command:

ip pim nbma-mode <<-- think that's the syntax.

This informs the router that there is more than one multicast capable device
off of that interface.

P.S. This command only goes on the hub router too. (R2's multipoint
interface).

Hi All,

Nice to meet you. I am beginning to prepare CCIE lab.

Could you please help me with this problem?

My topology: Frame-relay multipoint
           r2 192.168.30.2(lo0 = 192.168.2.2)
               / / \
              / / \
             / / \
            / / \
          (r4)(r3) (r5)
               |________|

OSPF is running everywhere, every router can ping the others' loopbacks.
Also PIM Sparse-Dense is running everywhere.
The frame-relay maps are all configured for broadcast.

The Ethernet interface of r3 (192.168.20.3) and r2 loopback (192.168.2.2)
are multicast group 225.6.7.8 receivers.

When the multicast sender is r4, only r2 replies, whereas if it is r2 the
sender, r3 replies too.

I think this has to do with the multipoint architecture, but I cannot see
how to get a reply from r3 r4 (or how to get r2 forwarding the multicast
packet originated by r4 to r3). Any clues?
