R2 and R3 are 3560 switches running layer 3 ip routing.
R5 is a 2811 router. In the beginning, R3 is the BSR RP because its
participating IP address is the highest.
R3:
ip multicast-routing distributed
interface Loopback0
ip address 172.16.56.3 255.255.255.255
ip pim sparse-mode
ip igmp join-group 224.1.1.1
ip igmp join-group 224.2.2.2
ip pim bsr-candidate Loopback0 0 192
ip pim rp-candidate Loopback0
R2:
ip multicast-routing distributed
interface Loopback0
ip address 172.16.56.2 255.255.255.255
ip pim sparse-mode
ip igmp join-group 224.1.1.1
ip pim bsr-candidate Loopback0 0 192
ip pim rp-candidate Loopback0
After R3#no ip multicast-routing distributed
The following are expected:
R2#sh ip pim rp
Group: 224.2.2.2, RP: 172.16.56.2, v2, next RP-reachable in 00:01:00
Group: 224.1.1.1, RP: 172.16.56.2, v2, next RP-reachable in 00:01:00
R5#sh ip pim rp
Group: 224.2.2.2, RP: 172.16.56.2, v2, uptime 00:02:28, expires 00:01:35
Group: 224.1.1.1, RP: 172.16.56.2, v2, uptime 00:02:28, expires 00:01:35
So far, so good.
Now, after the following command:
R2#no ip pim rp-cand lo0
I do not understand the following outputs:
R2#sh ip pim rp
Group: 224.2.2.2, RP: 172.16.56.3, v2, uptime 00:03:11, expires 00:02:23
Group: 224.1.1.1, RP: 172.16.56.3, v2, uptime 00:03:11, expires 00:02:23
R5#sh ip pim rp
Group: 224.2.2.2, RP: 172.16.56.3, v2, uptime 00:05:48, expires 00:02:07
Group: 224.1.1.1, RP: 172.16.56.3, v2, uptime 00:05:48, expires 00:02:07
Why R3 resumes the RP role while its multicast routing is turned off?
