Hello,

you should configure ´ip multicast-routing´ on all 3 routers, then ´ip pim sparse-mode´ on all interfaces, as well as the command ´ip pim rp-address´ on all 3 routers. The RP must obviously be reachable form both routers.

Can you post the configurations of your routers ?

Regards,

GP

Hi Georg,

The LHR and FHR are emulated routers in IXIA Traffic generator which are configured with all the necessary parameters (unfortunately can't post their configs since it's configured in GUI). The RP is obviosuly reachable from LHR and FHR since this is back to back ethernet connectivity.However I am posting the config for RP as follows :

----------------CONFIGURATION STARTS-----------------

Hello Raj,

the configuration looks very much ok. The only thing I can think about is that your 2500 is running PIM version 1, while the IXIA multicats emulator supports version 2. Can you try and configure ´ip pim version 2´ on your 2500 interfaces ?

If that doesn´t help, or if the interfaces are already set to version 2, can you post the output of ´show ip mroute´ from one of the routers LHR or FHR ?

Regards,

GP

Hi Georg..

As I said the LHR and FHR are emulated routers so I won't be able to post their configs since they have a GUI...But I can u give the following info :

The host on LHR is 10.1.1.3 for which 10.1.1.2 is the tester (IXIA) port for which default gateway is 10.1.1.1 and the multicast source is 225.1.0.1 to 225.1.0.4

The host on FHR is 20.1.1.3 for which 20.1.1.2 is the tester (IXIA) port for which the default gateway is 20.1.1.1

On my FHR the RP is 10.1.1.1

On LHR it's again 10.1.1.1

If I try and do sh ip PIM neighbors, it doesn't show me anything...

I am also pasting the sh ip mroute & sh ip mroute count for RP :

--------------------sh ip mroute---------------------

Hello Raj,

check if the sender application has set the TTL value to 1. Your groups are not joining the SPT, for some reason.

Also, check this document, it has some more troubleshooting techniques:
