Thank you, Bob.

 

I knew about the first condition but that 2nd condition slipped my mind.

 

There's just too much info to remember.

Hi Tim,

 

The RP sends a register stop message to the DR connected to the source when
a) The RP has no clients for the group or b) the RP has joined the SPT to
the DR and is receiving the traffic via native multicast. For more detail,
check out rfc2117.

 

HTH,

Subject: mroute table interpretation

 

Hi guys,

 

Here's a snip of my mroute table.

 

r1#sh ip mr

IP Multicast Routing Table

Flags: D - Dense, S - Sparse, B - Bidir Group, s - SSM Group, C - Connected,

       L - Local, P - Pruned, R - RP-bit set, F - Register flag,

       T - SPT-bit set, J - Join SPT, M - MSDP created entry,

       X - Proxy Join Timer Running, A - Candidate for MSDP Advertisement,

       U - URD, I - Received Source Specific Host Report, Z - Multicast
Tunnel

       Y - Joined MDT-data group, y - Sending to MDT-data group

Outgoing interface flags: H - Hardware switched, A - Assert winner

 Timers: Uptime/Expires

 Interface state: Interface, Next-Hop or VCD, State/Mode

 

(*, 231.31.31.31), 00:15:41/stopped, RP 150.1.3.3, flags: SJCLF <-- LOOK
AT THIS LINE

  Incoming interface: Serial0/1, RPF nbr 142.1.13.3

  Outgoing interface list:

    FastEthernet0/0, Forward/Sparse, 00:15:41/00:02:41

 

(142.1.34.4, 231.31.31.31), 00:00:25/00:02:40, flags: LJT

  Incoming interface: Serial0/1, RPF nbr 142.1.13.3

  Outgoing interface list:

    FastEthernet0/0, Forward/Sparse, 00:00:25/00:02:41

 

 

In the first entry (*, 231.31.31.31), notice that it says "Stopped".

 

Everything is working - I can ping this mcast group. But, what does
"Stopped" mean?

 

And, what causes the "Stopped" message to change to a time left message or
expires message?

 

I don't think this is a problem but can someone confirm this for me and
explain why that is there?

 

TIA, Tim
