RE: Next hop IP address required

Victor,

        Personally, I would use "sh ip mroute" or "debug ip mpacket" to
try and determine where the packets were coming from. If you ran those
commands on r3 while a ping to the multicast group was running on r1,
you could better determine the information you needed.
        
        Also, remember that if the Rules of Engagement don't allow
static mroutes, there is an alternate method that will allow you to
solve this problem.

        Here is the Cisco documentation for adding a static mroute.

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios124/124cr/hi
mc_r/mlt_i1h.htm#wp1073735

        And the path to get to that information from the base
documentation page:

12.4->Command Reference Guide->IP multicast Command Reference->ip cgmp
to ip multicast rate-limit-> ip mroute

Subject: Next hop IP address required

Hello List, is there any way to know which is the next hop for ip mroute

in a multi-access media??

I have a multicast topology like this

228.22.22.22 |==E0= R2 -S0---------S0-R5 -S1 ----S0-- R1 =E0 ==== E0 =
R3-- |

All the interfaces are running ip pim sparse-dense-mode, and the problem

is that the RPF Fails, because there is a ppp link between R2 and R3 and

the unicast routing prefers that link to reach destinations in R3/R2, so

where do you put the ip mroute 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 (on R2 or R3?)
and which is the next hop required?
