Aamir,

I am not familiar with that particular lab, but, in general, if the downstream
router B knows the RP address, and his path to that RP is through the router A
in question, and that router B has a downstream client, then that router B
should send a join, and the interface that received the join on router A
should be on the OILIST.

I would try some debugs to figure out if the downstream router is sending
joins upstream. For example: debug ip pim 228.28.28.28 or debug ip igmp.

I would suspect no downstream client. How are you simulating the client? If
it is ip igmp join-group on a loopback, make sure you have PIM on that
loopback.

  hi there

  i am basically doing IE vol1 lab 2 task, the interfaces are configured as
  Sparse mode with ip pim rp address command so when i do the show ip pim rp
  mapping, it shows me RP mapping meaning it can reach RP so what to do,
which
  command to give on this router to check this problem?

  thanks
  Aamir
