Brian,

I have a similar setup to Mohammed and this is what I see on my routers.

Basically the config and sho ip mrout tables are exactly the same on my
setup comapred to Mohammeds,

If I have ip pim sparse mode configured on the s0/0 interface of BB1 I get
the following debug from the R6 router

*Mar 1 13:03:21.172: PIM(0): Check RP 150.1.2.2 into the (*, 228.28.28.28)
entry
*Mar 1 13:03:21.176: IP(0): s=54.1.2.254 (Serial0/0) d=228.28.28.28 id=323,

*Mar 1 13:03:23.172: IP(0): s=54.1.2.254 (Serial0/0) d=228.28.28.28 id=324,
prot=1, len=104(100), mroute olist null
*Mar 1 13:03:25.172: IP(0): s=54.1.2.254 (Serial0/0) d=228.28.28.28 id=325,
prot=1, len=104(100), mroute olist null
*Mar 1 13:03:27.172: IP(0): s=54.1.2.254 (Serial0/0) d=228.28.28.28 id=326,
prot=1, len=104(100), mroute olist null

Pings from BB1 fail

Just taking ip pim sparse mode off BB1 gives me the fololwing debug from R6

*Mar 1 12:59:09.912: PIM(0): Check RP 150.1.2.2 into the (*, 228.28.28.28)

*Mar 1 12:59:09.920: PIM(0): Received v2 Join/Prune on FastEthernet0/0 from

*Mar 1 12:59:09.920: PIM(0): Join-list: (54.1.2.254/32, 228.28.28.28),

*Mar 1 12:59:09.920: PIM(0): Add FastEthernet0/0/132.1.26.2 to (
54.1.2.254/32, 228.28.28.28), Forward state
*Mar 1 12:59:11.472: PIM(0): Send v2 Null Register to 150.1.2.2
*Mar 1 12:59:11.476: PIM(0): Received v2 Register-Stop on FastEthernet0/0
from 150.1.2.2
*Mar 1 12:59:11.476: PIM(0): for source 0.0.0.0, group 0.0.0.0
*Mar 1 12:59:11.912: PIM(0): Send v2 Register to 150.1.2.2 for 54.1.2.254,
group 228.28.28.28
*Mar 1 12:59:11.912: IP(0): s=54.1.2.254 (Serial0/0)
d=228.28.28.28(FastEthernet0/0) id=319, prot=1, len=100(100), mforward

Pings now work fine. This is repeatable (as long as you give everything
enough time for the timeouts to settle after the change).

Can you explain this? I am happy to paste a big reply with all my configs
and the outputs you describe both with and without ip pim sparse mode on BB1
to illustrate.

Cheers

Chris
