Are these all frame connections?

Hi Lee,

let's say the layout looks like that:

            Src
              |
R1----------------R2
| |
| |
R3---------------R4
| (RP) |
|___________R5(mapping)

the RPF faillure happens on R4 (it sees R5 as the rpf nbr instead of R2)

My mroute looks like: ip mroute src-IP mask R2'sIPaddress

Any idea?

Cheers,
JP

It's sounds like your ip mroute statement is wrong, what's your config?

This static route will override any other dynamically learnt routes.

Hi All,

I'm currently working on a multicast routing scenario on which I'd
appreciate your comments.

One of my routers is dropping the multicast feed because of a multicast
faillure : Its rpf nbr is the mapping agent (I'm using auto-rp) instead of

being the correct rpf (to the source).
I tried to add a multicast static route (even played with the admin
distances, ...) but I doesn't seem to change anything: the static route is

added to the config but when I type sh ip mroute <group> , the rpf nbr is
still the mapping agent.

I really don't get it... Does anyone have an idea?

Thank you

JP
