Multicast routing issue

drughetto

Hi all,

i'm facing a strange problem with multicast routing. I have got a cisco3750 switch configured with different VLANs (just to keep things simple).

On VLAN 5 I have got a Linux box running Mediatomd dlna media server and on VLAN 6 I've got 2 different dlna clients : one Samsung TV and one Philips WAS7500 station. I configured both VLANs to be in dense-mode and the TV gets connected to the Media Server without problems, but the Philips stations doesn't. From the linux box i can ping the Philips stations (acutally the TV doesn't reply to ping which is a standard behaviour i guess). When trying to ping the multicast address both clients should be joining from the Linux box i don't get any reply. Please find hereafter some output i get from variuos show/debug commands from the switch :

One quick note for you -- I have learned from experience that the 3560/3750 platform does not show accurate info for "show ip mroute count" as well as "show ip mroute active".  So if you're wondering why you show no active sources, that is likely why!
