RE: Multicast issue: Auto-RP over Sparse-Dense mode

Dave,

I have seen some 12.3 code not require sparse-dense mode but STILL pass
auto-rp groups as dense.

I would say it's a 12.2T thing that we still need to do until 12.3
becomes the mainline test platform.

Anyhow, it would be like not requiring us to permit ip protocol 58 for
IPV6 ICMP... Or adding ARP to permit list of an ipv4 ACL... The IOS was
made to work because its needed... Only it doesn't do that till 12.3

Interesting thought. I would like to hear more discussion on this (or
get more information on your thought of sparse-dense mode). Andrew
noticed that the loopback from R4 was in the IGP routing. I corrected
that and everything is working......along with leaving it ip pim sparse
mode. I was thinking that the ip pim nbma was taking care of the dense
mode and so, I deleted that (trying to break) it. However, it kept on
working. Hmmm...then the question is....why bother using ip pim nbma.
What kind of question in the lab would prevent us from using it or not
using it?

Hi Dave,

By default an interface in Sparse mode will not listen to AutoRP
advertisements because AutoRP uses dense mode for operation. To get
around this you can configure sparse-dense mode on the interface, or you
can override the behavior on a sparse-mode configured interface so that
it does listen to AutoRP advertisements with the 'ip pim autorp
listener' command. Interface s0.1 on R2 is configured for Sparse-mode,
so it will not listen to the Auto-RP advertisements being sent from R4
for the group 224.4.4.0. If you configure interface s0.1 on R2 as
sparse-dense or use the above mentioned command on the interface, you
should start to see the AutoRP advertisements being forwarded across the
rest of your topology.

HTH,

Matt

Here is the situation.... I am doing multicast with Auto-RP over
Sparse-Dense (configs below). R2 has a DLCI to R3 and R4 (multipoint
subif), and, also a point-to-point subinterface on a separate dlci to
R5.

R2 is announcing itself as the RP for groups 224.2.2.0
R4 is announcing itself as the RP for groups 224.4.4.0

I believe the configurations are correct. However, when I do the show
ip pim rp map, I get the following:

Problem: for some reason, I cannot get the 224.4.40 group to be mapped
throughout the network. I run the same scenario under BSR and it works
fine. Also, running the MRM utility shows no errors. Thoughts? Here
are the configs......
