Petr - taking it to the next level as always! :-)

Backbone - if you can't do the things Petr explained in a lab because you
haven't been asked to etc... here's an example of what I do to ping over the
MDT on a PE.

For this example I setup a basic VPN network (R1 - R2 - R3 - R4 - R5 - R6)
R1 and R5 are the CE routers
R2 and R4 are the PE routers
R3 is the P router
R6 issued an IGMP join for 226.6.6.6 on its connection to R5
R5 is the RP within the VPN (via AutoRP)
R2-R5 on the SP side just running PIM-SM with SSM.

I built an MDT tunnel between R2 and R4 using group 232.1.1.1

So here's a ping from R1 to make sure things are working:

R1#ping 226.6.6.6 rep 5

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 226.6.6.6, timeout is 2 seconds:

Reply to request 1 from 56.56.56.6, 112 ms
Reply to request 2 from 56.56.56.6, 132 ms
Reply to request 3 from 56.56.56.6, 128 ms
Reply to request 4 from 56.56.56.6, 144 ms

Okay that's what we want.
Let's try a ping on R2 (PE router)

R2#ping vrf R1 226.6.6.6 rep 5

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 226.6.6.6, timeout is 2 seconds:
.....

Okay not so good. So let's try an extended ping with the MDT tunnel as the
interface.
No configuration changes have been made on R2.

R2#ping vrf R1
