Brian,

Thanks for your Input. I am referring to the IEWB scenario VER3.0, Lab 2,
Multicast task.
As per the requirements of the lab everything is working. But I have enabled
sparse-mode on the S0/0 interface of BB1 just for testing purpose , so that
I can understand the concepts of Multicasting thoroughly. All the Routers
have unicast reachability to 54.1.2.245 ip of BB1 and All the routers do
know that R2 is the RP for the domain.

I will post the configuration R2,R6 and BB1 as soon as i get back to my lab.

Chris, I will try out the options you provided as well.

regards
shamin
