Re: IP Multicast over FR!!!

Yasser,

The tools I rely on to troubleshoot auto-rp are the commands:

sh ip pim rp [mapping] ;

sh ip mroute

and mtrace [candidate source or mapping agent source]

Sometimes you need a static mroute on a router so that the source ip for the
rp-candidate, or the source ip for the mapping agent traffic passes the rpf
check.

Sometimes you have to fight the dense-mode oilist issue; that the rpf
interface will not go on the outgoing interface list. In other words, don't
try to get the dense mode groups 224.0.1.39 or 224.0.1.40 to go into and
back out of a multipoint frame interface.

My own take on multicast troubleshooting is that the problem is very likely
related to a failed rpf check (fix with static mroute) or it is related to
an outgoing interface list issue (fix by engineering the path so it comes in
one interface and out another)

HTH,
