RE: Testing Multicast over GNS3/Dynamips

Hi Marko,

Ok.. so I tried to ping and it replies. Using ip pim sparse-dense-mode, I suppose ip igmp join command is like declaring a source of multicast for which the interface does registration to the RP, and then when we do ping from other router, the tree is built-up (comparable to when a host in a lan send igmp membership report for a specific multicat group address). Is this correct?
Thanks a lot.

Best Regards,
Wendry

You can always use ping as a traffic generator. On one router you can
join the group and you can ping that group from another router. If you
get responses, it's likely that your multicast works... :-)
