Group,
 
Here i have a problem which i am unable to troubleshoot. Dont know why its happening.The case is exactly like Doyle 2 case with Platinum--lead--iron-brass .
 
The issue is for some reson R11 does not switch back to Shared tree even with ip spt thereshold-infinity set on R11.
 
Without this command the traffic path to R11 is via the RP(r7) but switches to SPT once the link between R11 and R10 (Serial0) comes up. the routing table swithes to use R7-R4 to get to R10 but the show ip mroute does not change.
 
 
Setup:Same IP addresses as Doyle 2.
 
 Source --------| R10 -------------R4
                    | |
                    | |
                s1 | |
                 R11---------------r7---------- R6 ------------ r15
                     | s0 (RP)
                     |
            --------+----------
                 Rx on this Lan
 
Here are the configs and route table:

       I - Received Source Specific Host Report

R11 config:

!

router rip
 version 2
 network 172.16.0.0
 no auto-summary

 ip pim rp-address 172.16.224.1
 ip pim spt-threshold infinity <<<< this should allow the Shortest PT to be used.

Dont know what is happening ?

 

 

 

Thanks in advance for ur time and replies.
