But 5 is where it's coming from now, right? The "ip mroute" command is NOT
a static route. It's an "alternate path" for multicast to come in on. So
if you are receiving from R5 although that's not your unicast path, you'll
need the mroute to allow it (or it'll fail RPF).

But putting an mroute on a receiving router to R6 won't do anything to your
incoming flow of traffic! We can allow things, but not change the receive
path.

Subject: RE: RE: mroute

140.40.2.2 is the loopback of R2. When I divide the LAN in two different
vlans it works when I make a mroute for 140.40.2.2 to the ip address of R6
But shouldn,t the RPF change when I add a mroute?
