Hi everybody

I have a router configure with pim dense mode and when I used some command to verify the operation I can see that the router show joining to multicast group 224.0.1.40. Can anybody tell me why?

RA#sh ip pim interface

The other strange thing is that the show ip pim autorp the output show AutoRP enabled, is posible disable it?

RA#

RA#sh ip pim autorp

AutoRP Information:

  AutoRP is enabled.

PIM AutoRP Statistics: Sent/Received

  RP Announce: 0/0, RP Discovery: 0/0

Hi David,

The 224.0.1.40 group is the Cisco-RP-Discovery group. This is a reserved multicast group in the Auto-RP system that is used to propagate information about existing rendezvous points and group-to-RP mappings. This group always works in the dense mode and that is probably the reason why you see your router being subscribed to it even though you have configured PIM-DM as your multicast routing protocol that does not need RPs.

Regarding the possibility of deactivate Auto-RP, Laurent Aubert answers this question in this thread:

In short, you need a recent IOS version to be able to deactivate the Auto-RP, otherwise, it is permanently active.

Best regards,

Peter
