Hello,
I am trying to achieve the following in a lab environment (gns3) before moving to my real network.
Multicast Source (inside network) --> PIX --> host router (outside network).
The lab topology looks something like this:
MulticastSource(router) fa0/0 -- fa0/0 InsideRouter fa0/1 -- eth0 PIX eth1 -- fa0/0 OutsideRouter
As I understand PIX 7.0.4 only supports sparse mode, so I have configured sparse mode on all respectful router interfaces.
My configuration so far is (only relevant commands are shown):
MutlicastRouter
ip multicast-routing

interface Loopback0
ip address 192.168.11.1 255.255.255.0

Unfortunately I cannot ping 225.6.6.6 from the router named MulticastSource. If the config was ok, shouldn't this ping be successful?
Could someone please help me understand where my error is?
If there where more routers behind the OutsideRouter, which needed multicast, I suppose that as the RP I should use the natted ip for the configured RP.
Thank you in advance,

After reading a lot of stuff I've come to believe that what I am trying to achieve, will not work with the PIX 7.0.4.
I've come across this interesting article on the forum:
https://supportforums.cisco.com/message/772416#772416
If I nat the multicast address to a unicast address will the remote site (outside router) be able to receive the multicast traffic?
Thank you in advance,
Katerina
