multicast over a single router using VLC

rhap4boyz
Level 1
Level 1

I am testing a simple multicast setup using a single Cisco 1841 router with VLC.  However I cannot get it to work.  If VLCs are on the same subnet, it works.  I tried both UDP and RTP multicast to 239.255.0.1.  I tried both dense and sparse mode.  There must be something fundamental that I am missing.  I already increased the TTL in VLC but no luck.

Please help!

VLC Source -> Cisco Router -> VLC Viewer

192.168.10.200 -> 192.168.10.254 - 192.168.11.254 -> 192.168. 11.200

Your configuration looks fine to me.

It does sound like a TTL issue to me but you say you have checked that.

How are the clients connected to the router and what does the multicast routing table show ie. "sh ip mroute" ?

It turns out that the VLC GUI TTL has a bug.  Even if I specify TTL of greater than 10, it still shows TTL of 1 when using wireshark.  I end up using VLC command line which works.

Under both interfaces, can you delete "no ip mroute-cache"

and try again?
