How to configure a multicast network?

winstonlimsk

Level 1

It has been quite sometime since I have configured a multicast network. Yesterday I tried configuring it on the Production environment but didn't work. We have the multicast servers connected directly to the Core Switch (x2) and I can see the switch is receiving multicast packets but it is not forwarding to the ASA firewall. We have many more devices after the ASA but I am stuck on the first two devices. Can someone help to see what is missing from the config below?

 

Core switch (C3560X-48T-E) configuration

 

CORE-SW1

ip multicast-routing distributed

no ip igmp snooping

 

interface GigabitEthernet0/3

description "ASA-FW1:e0/1"

switchport access vlan 103

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

switchport trunk native vlan 103

switchport trunk allowed vlan 103

switchport mode trunk

 

interface Vlan103

description ACCESS

ip address 10.12.3.5 255.255.255.0

ip pim sparse-dense-mode (newly added)

standby 103 ip 10.102.3.4

standby 103 priority 110

standby 103 preempt delay minimum 30

standby 103 name ACC

Hello, first from your config I can see that on gig0/3 you are making the vlan an access vlan then converting finally it into a trunk, that is also creating issues.

Please refer thefollowing guide to Configuring IP Multicast Routing on 3560:
