mroute issue

Hi guys,

Here's the scenario:

Sparse mode is running in portions of the network. Not all interfaces and
routers are multicast enabled.

Because of this, on a paricular router, the rpf check to the rp fails. An ip
mroute fixes that problem.

Now, what happens when that router with the mroute for the rp switches over to
the SPT?

If the SPT uses a different interface, will a new rpf check for the source now
fail?

Can someone explain if there's a potential problem here I need to be aware of
? And, if so, what I should do about this?

TIA. Tim
