Hi,

I have not looked at the lab you are mentioning, but usually ip mroute is
used in cases where you have an RPF check failure, check your unicast
routing table, maybe the source for the group configured on R4 is reachable
via some path other than thru R3, for which multicast is not enabled, so you
need to statically configure an mroute on the R4 router to ignore the
unicast routing table and use path thru R3.

hope it helps.
