Simon,

Actually, I think that's not true.

The ping will only go out those interfaces listed in the OIL (Outgoing
Interface List0 which you can see by doing a show ip mroute.

Hi all,

Can anyone enlighten me.

Whenever I ping a multicast group from a router, then the packet gets sent
out of all interfaces, even if an *,g or s,g exits for that group on the
router. Why does this behaviour occur?

Thanks

Simon
