Hi...

I have this configuration...

   
    (R4)
       \s0/0
        \~~~~~
        ( ) <rp> <ma>
       ( )-----(R1)-----(R3)
        ( ) s0/0 s1/0
        /~~~~~
  s0/0 /
    (R5)

The problem is R4 and R5 are not seeing an RP...

Rack1R5#sho ip pim rp map
PIM Group-to-RP Mappings

Rack1R5#

This configuration requires RPs to be map via Auto-RP.

I used enabled sparse-mode and nbma-mode on r1,r4, and r5 s0/0 interfaces.

I enable ip pim autorp listener on r1, r4 and r5 as well.

===========================================================================

I even tried putting the MA on R1... still not seeing an RP...

I am sure there is something simple I am overlooking.

Is there any good multicast troubleshooting sites? Or good mulitcast books? I read Jeff Doyle's Routing TCP/IP book. But I am still multicast dumb apparently.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dan
