RE: multicast helper map

Another query which I'm hopeing someone can answer and that is why is there
a specific deny "deny udy any any" in the access-list given in the Cisco
Sample? Surely then is a implicit deny any any at the end of all
access-lists.

access-list 120 permit udp any any 4000
access-list 120 deny udp any any
 ip forward-protocol udp 4000

Thanks in advance
Mohammad

Hi Brian,

Agree with your previous posts. But some further questions on the DocCD
example:

A) How about PIM-dense mode ? I think it is necessary on interface "1" and
"2" but "3" is not required.
B) I think the ip directed-broadcast command is ONLY necessry on interface
"3" as it is the only place whether directed broadcast is translated to
physical broadcast
C) In the DocCD, it mentioned "On the last hop router, the ip multicast
helper-map interface configuration command automatically introduces ip igmp
join-group group-address on that interface. This command must stay on that
interface for the intermediate IP multicast helper feature to work. If you
remove the ip igmp join-group command, the feature will fail. "

However, I don't see this command was automatically added after added the
helper-map command. Should I add it manually afterwards ?

rgds,
alec

Chris,

        The helper map needs to be configured on the first hop router and
the last hop router. The first hop is where the broadcast stream gets
converted from a broadcast to a multicast. The last hop is where the
multicast gets converted back into a broadcast.

         _____
| ( ) |
|--R1--( Mcast )--R2--|
| ^ (_____) ^ ^ |
  1 2 3

        The source of the broadcast feed is located on R1's interface "1".
This is the incoming interface for the broadcast stream. The destination
the traffic is trying to get transported to is on R2's interface "3". The
incoming interface for the multicast stream is R2's interface "2" which
connects to the multicast cloud. The confusion in the documentation CD
example is that this incoming interface "2" is an Ethernet interface. When
you look at the example at a glance it looks like they're referring to
interface "3" when they are actually referring to "2".

The following configuration should go on interface "1"

ip multicast helper-map broadcast 225.5.5.5 100

where 255.5.5.5 is the multicast address to convert the broadcast to as
"100" is an extended access-list that matches the traffic to convert.

The following configuration should go on interface "2"

ip multicast helper-map 225.5.5.5 12.255.255.255 100

where 255.5.5.5 is the same group as previously referenced, 12.255.255.255
is the directed broadcast address of interface "3", and access-list 100 is
the same as previously referenced.
