George,

if one of your spoke routers joined group 224.1.1.1 that does not mean
that you'll see any route to 224.1.1.1 at another spoke.

---

Assuming that you have configuration with AutoRP in H&S topology with following details:

a) RP is placed at hub router and hub has NBMA (multipoint) interface b) One spoke is the source for group 224.1.1.1 c) Another spoke is the receiver for group 224.1.1.1

Than, first thing that source router needs to know is RP for group 224.1.1.1 Check "show ip pim rp mapping" at source.

Next, the receiver should also hear RP announces, and be able to join RPT, as well as SPT to the source.

The latter can be accomplished with "ip pim nbma-mode" at the hub, or additional interfaces (tunnel).

Check "show ip mroute" at hub router to verify if spoke has joined RPT, and if "nbma-mode" is active.

Also, if you provide detailed configurations, I could probably tell more :)

HTH Petr
