Hello friends,
When given a requirement such as "you must be able to ping the multicast
group from all routers", does the ping have to be successfull when sourced
from all interfaces or will any interface do?
The reason I am asking is because when you do a ping to a multicast group
from a router without specifying any options, it automatically generates a
separate icmp packet from each interface that has PIM enabled, correct?
Therefore when I get an echo reply from the multicast receiver all I know is
that at least one of the pings made it....
So if I were in the lab would I have to do an RPF check to every single
router interface to make sure there are no RPF failures somewhere in the
topology?
Thank You
