RE: VPN multicast RPF lookup failure

Why are you checking RPF for the destination 172.9.11.1, aren't you
interested in RPF check for the source 172.9.48.4? If 172.9.11.1 is a
multicast receiver, you don't really care about RPF checks for that IP
address, as you'll never see that IP anywhere in the multicast packet.

Something else could be wrong in your case. Which PIM mode have you
configured on your customer (PE-CE) interfaces? If sparse mode, is RP known?
"show ip pim vrf ABC rp mapping"? Do you have any static mroutes configured
in vrf ABC? Is MDT running? "show ip pim mdt bgp"

Hi,

I have a RPF lookup issue in my VPN multicast configuration.
From the vrf table, there is a route for the destination 172.9.11.1. Just
don't know why it fail the RPF lookup.

R8#
02:39:35: IP(1): s=172.9.48.4 (Ethernet1/0.48) d=224.1.1.1 id=186, ttl=254,
prot=1, len=114(100), RPF lookup failed for source or RP

R8#show ip rpf vrf ABC 172.9.11.1
RPF information for ? (172.9.11.1) failed, no route exists
R8#

R8#show ip route vrf ABC
