Multicast Testing / Multicast-Helper / IP SLA

Hi all,

I'm just practicing testing different multicast scenarios and something is
happening which I can't work out. I have been up since 5:30am so I'm
probably just tired and missing something.

I have configured 4 routers with this setup:

R5 (fa0/1-192.168.1.5) <--> (fa0/0-192.168.1.1) R1 (s0/0-10.0.0.1)
<--OSPF+FR--> (s0/0-10.0.0.3) R3 (fa0/0-192.168.3.3) <-->
(fa0/1-192.168.1.4) R4

I have connectivity end-to-end and I have configured PIM DM on all
interfaces. R3 and R5 are my test hosts. I setup IP SLA to send a UDP
broadcast with destination port of 5555 on R4. I've configured a multicast
helper on R3 and R1. For some reason my IP SLA probes aren't even leaving
R4. Can someone spot what's wrong?

 ip address 192.168.1.5 255.255.255.0

I can ping end-to-end and multicast is working.

R4#ping 192.168.1.5

I've set this up on R4:

 timeout 1
 frequency 1

Does anyone know why I'm getting "encapsulation failed"?

Thanks in advance.

Mike
