Bilal,
         You need a RP for sparse mode to work. You can specify one
statically or use Auto-rp(sparse-dense mode). You would need to define the
multicast group on one of the reachable interfaces by using the command,"ip
igmp join-group 224.4.4.4". Please look at the following link for more info:
