hi,

After I enabled ip pim autorp listener in each router R1,R2,R3 it started to
work. I should have looked at the configuration guide for enabling sparse
mode with autorp :((

* 5. *Either perform Steps 6 and 7 and proceed to Step 9 or perform Step 8
and then proceed to Step 9.
*6. **ip pim sparse-mode
7. **ip pim autorp listener
8. **ip pim sparse-dense-mode
9. **end*
However I was expecting to work only with sparse mode enabled on the
interfaces but now i realize my expectation was wrong.
If I have a multicast group in dense mode I will not ever flood that group
over sparse mode interfaces even if that group is 224.0.1.40 - the discovery
group.

going back to next lab now :)
