RE: Multicast Question

Yes, I am seeing several hosts (besides HOSTA) sending to 230.22.22.25.
Could it be that the applications MCAST TTL is set to 1? Perhaps that is
why I'm not seeing the hosts in the MROUTE table for this flow?

1d23h: IP: s=63.240.45.24 (FastEthernet0/0), d=230.22.22.25, len 32,
rcvd 0
1d23h: IGMP: Received v2 Report on FastEthernet0/0 from 63.240.45.24 for
230.22.22.25
1d23h: IGMP: Received Group record for group 230.22.22.25, mode 2 from
63.240.45.24 for 0 sources
1d23h: IGMP: Updating EXCLUDE group timer for 230.22.22.25

Yes you should see an incoming interface for this traffic and at the
moment
it is null, which means nothing.

Are you sure your host is sending? Do a debug ip pack det on router1 and
make sure this host exists?

I'm running Dense mode between 2 routers and have the following config
on each

Ip multicast routing

Int fa0/0

  Ip pim dense

Int fa1/0

  Ip pim dense

(HOSTA's address is 63.240.45.33)

HOSTA--------------R1-------------------------R2-------------------HOSTB

host a is sending traffic to 223.22.22.25 and .27 but I'm not seeing it
on r2 when I do a show ip mroute.

On r1, I'm seeing the following when I do a show ip mroute:

(*, 230.22.22.27), 00:24:20/00:02:38, RP 0.0.0.0, flags: DC

  Incoming interface: Null, RPF nbr 0.0.0.0

  Outgoing interface list:

    FastEthernet1/0, Forward/Dense, 00:24:20/00:00:00

    FastEthernet0/0, Forward/Dense, 00:24:20/00:00:00

(*, 230.22.22.25), 00:24:17/00:02:36, RP 0.0.0.0, flags: DC

  Incoming interface: Null, RPF nbr 0.0.0.0

  Outgoing interface list:

    FastEthernet1/0, Forward/Dense, 00:24:17/00:00:00

    FastEthernet0/0, Forward/Dense, 00:24:17/00:00:00

R1 obviously knows about the two multicast destinations, shouldn't I be
seeing an entry in the mroute table if HOSTA is indeed sending to
230.22.22.25 and .27?

Also, why is the incoming interface marked as NULL?

I thought I should be seeing something more like:

(63.240.45.33,230.22.22.25) ), 00:24:20/00:02:38, RP 0.0.0.0, flags: DC

  Incoming interface: FastEthernet0/0, RPF nbr 0.0.0.0

  Outgoing interface list:

    FastEthernet1/0, Forward/Dense, 00:24:20/00:00:00

    FastEthernet0/0, Forward/Dense, 00:24:20/00:00:00
