Hello,

What is exactly R4's and R5's tunnel configs?
I suppose You might need ip for tunnel source.... (instead of ip unnumbered)

Wbr,
Alex

Subject: RPF failures on multicast over gre tunnel

Hi,

I am trying to configure simple multicast in dense mode on 2 routers.

[R4]---------[R5]

Both routers are connected via frame-relay with static L3 mapping without
broadcast command.

----
R4#sh fram map
Serial1/0 (up): ip 155.1.0.5 dlci 405(0x195,0x6450), static,
              CISCO, status defined, active
R4#

R5#sh fram map Serial1/0 (up): ip 155.1.0.4 dlci 504(0x1F8,0x7C80), static, CISCO, status defined, active R5# ----

To make multicast work, I added a tunnel over serial interface on both routers. -- interface Tunnel0 ip unnumbered Serial1/0 ip pim dense-mode tunnel source Serial1/0 tunnel destination 155.1.0.5 --

R4 e0/0 has joined group 224.2.2.2. Now when I try to ping 224.2.2.2 from R5, R4 shows RPF failures as the rpf path is S1/0.

Even after adding mroute for rpf, incoming interface shows as S1/0 instead of tunnel0.

-- ip mroute 155.1.0.5 255.255.255.255 Tunnel0 --

-- R4#sh ip mroute 224.2.2.2 | b 155 (155.1.0.5, 224.2.2.2), 00:00:17/00:02:42, flags: L Incoming interface: Serial1/0, RPF nbr 0.0.0.0 Outgoing interface list: Tunnel0, Forward/Dense, 00:00:17/00:00:00 Ethernet0/0, Forward/Dense, 00:00:17/00:00:00

R4# --

Is there something wrong with the config, or do I need additional steps to make multicast work over tunnel?

Thanks, Rahul
