Re: ip mulitcast anycast rp problem

The mroute shows the correct entries, i.e. R3's
incoming interface is R4...
They are all Cat6, so default is IGMP snooping.

any other possibility?

Btw, got another question even for the normal
operation:
When all the links are up, our NMS found the multicast
traffics from R1 both reach Core 1 and R2.
Show IP mroute shows, the traffics reach R2 and pruned
by it.
I feel the traffics only need to reach Core 1, but why
it reaches R2 also?

Thanks!
