Hi Horobin,
I think using loopback interface as a RP........you need to enable pim on
the loobback of the RP. Let say, if you not enable pim on loopback
interface, it will not respond any multicast quarry, which is required for
multicast traffic forwarding.
Correct me, if I am wrong.
Best Regards,
Jai
