Thanks Dave,
 
As far as I know it happens even with sparse mode only configured on every interface. Is not it?
So If I want to guarantee that the multicast group have connectivity even if I loose my RP I have to keep the DM-Fallback option (default).
 
Regards
 
Juan

        Juan -
        
        I believe that if you configure the no ip pim dm-fallback, that only
        access to the multicast group originated from that router will disallow
        the dense mode fallback operation. The multicast group, when there is
        no RP present or unavailable...will fallback to dense mode.

        I just want to clarify something more about this.
        
        This command should be configured on every multicast Router?
        And what happened if we combined with no ip pim dm-fallback command?
        
        Regards

        According to what I know, ip pim spt-threshold command only sets the
        threshold to switch from a shared tree to a shortest path tree, as you
        know, when using sparse-mode, we will build a (*, G) pair but from
        there, the last-hop router will try to join the SPT to the source making
        an (S,G) pair. Therefore if you use ip pim spt-threshold infinity you
        are forciing the router to use the shared tree and not switchover to the
        SPT.
        
        Hope that makes it clearer =)

        Although I am also no expert on Multicast, I don't believe that shortest
        path and dense mode are one and the same....please correct me if I'm
        wrong.
