PIM assert message in Sparse Mode

Dear All

 

I have the following topology

                    |---R2---|

R1-(LAN2)--|            |-(LAN1)-- Source           

                    |---R3---|

 

there are two multi-access LANs. The R2  is elected as PIM DR on both LANs.

R3 has a better ospf cost 5 for the shared subnet towards the Source on LAN1. R2 has an OSPF  cost 10.

 

So on R1 i see the following

(S,G) with RPF R2*

sh ip rpf S shows via R3.

 

I enabled the PIM debug and found that R2 is advertising an Assert message with metric 0/0. So it becomes a winner.

I even tried to move PIM DR to R3 for both subnets, by increasing DR priority on R3 interfaces.

Anybody has an idea how can I force to send multicast traffic via R3?
