Greg,

I don't think you are running into an RPF failure.

I ran across a practice lab like this. The solution as I recall was to
use sparse/dense mode along with pim nbma mode. Essentially, this will
allow R3 (which is acting as the hub in the frame hub/spoke topology) to
both receive AND forward the multicast traffic. I suspect you can
confirm this is the problem by checking what traffic R1 and SW1 are
receiving.

Here is a link that explains the problem (and the solution) much better
than I can:

Hello,

I was hoping someone help me figure out this scenario.

R6 (Source)
    |
    R2
  / \
R1----R3
|
SW1 (Receiver)

R1, R2 and R3 are connected via a full frame relay mesh.
OSPF is runnig on the frame relay mesh in point-to-multipoint mode.

R2 is acting as RP with static RP configured on all devices.

R1 is showing R3 as next hop to RP.

I am doing debug ip pim on all devices and I can see that R1 is sending
the
PIM join message from SW1 to R3 but R3 is not forwarding the join
message to
R2.

I did all the debugs I can think of on R3 but there is no indication of
an
RPF failure. How can I troubleshoot this?

Thanks,
Greg
