Scott and GS,
This scenario has two routers (R1,R4), interconnected via GRE tunnel (since
there are 2-3 other routers in between them). Only these two routers have
multicast enabled. We want a server in the same vlan as Router 1's fa0/0 to
ping group 227.69.53.7 (R4's fa0/0 has ip igmp join-group 227.69.53.7).
So, it's a pretty simple scenario (pt-to-pt) link between 2 multicast
routers. Like I mentioned in the previous message, it states "do not use any
RP assignments". There is no explicit indication about the pim mode. So, is
this a situation that could be solved by using SSM?
I wasn't so much concerned with this scenario in particular, but mostly with
the application of SSM in general.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Andre
