HELLO
my name is YUN CHOUL JUNG
I have a question about multicast routing
In my site, Multicast Routing is requred for VOD service.
So i configured C6509 backbone switch to RP (refer to attached file)
and C4503 Distribution Switch to PIM join Device
Environments :
Multicast Group address : 234.0.0.1 (UDP 1234)
VOD server is connected with C6509 GE3/6.
I used a VLC, VOD Client TEST program
Client PC is connected with C4503 GE3/22
I tested a two case
1. Test pc connected with C6509 was received a multicast traffic and VOD displayed good.
2. Test pc connected with C4503 was not received a multicast tracffic and VOD was not displayed.
Why second case was not received a multicast traffic?
I attached a test dump file and network diagram.
thanks in advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hello YUN CHOUL JUNG,
You executed the following command on Cat6500,
New_science#mstat 117.17.93.200 117.17.93.132 234.0.0.1
and interface vlan93 on Cat6500 is configured as 117.17.93.254 255.255.255.192, so I think multicast sender and receivers which connects Cat6500 and Cat4500 exist on same vlan (vlan93). If so, your problem looks like "Multicast traffic does not seem to pass across Catalyst switches, even in the same VLAN" and may correspond the following document.
Multicast Does Not Work in the Same VLAN in Catalyst Switches
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps708/products_tech_note09186a008059a9df.shtml
I have experienced same issue before but in my case,my Layer 2 switch was operating with IOS not CatOS like you, so I configured "igmp snooping querier" command to resolve the issue at that time described as
Solution 2: Enable IGMP Querier Feature on a Layer 2 Catalyst Switch
on above URL
However your Cat4500 Layer 2 (SP) is operating with CatOS 8.3. I don't know equivalent command on CatOS 8.3 but
set igmp querier {enable | disable} vlan
command is provided on Cat6500 version 7.6 command reference.
Could you check above URL to see whether your problem is same and then try to configured igmp querier or another solutions described above URL.
I hope this help.
Regards,
Shinichi

hi Yun,.
im not too familiar with catos but im sure the logic is the same..
first check on both devices sh ip pim neighbours to double check that its fine.
check that 4500 can reach the rp ...117.17.93.254 ( do a ping)
Interface vlan 10, 20, 30 on 4500 should also have 'ip pim sparse-mode' that way the svi can act as quierier for igmp requests
if you check all this, should work fine.

network 192.168.240.0 0.0.0.3 area 10
!
Edit:
I see that there is probably OSPF neighborship on net 192.168.240.0 vlan 540
I would start by using
show ip ospf neighbor
show ip pim neighbor
show ip route
show ip pim rp mapping
Hope to help

hello, giuslar
pim neighbor and ospf neighbor is working now normally.
and rp map status is good.
but multicast traffic is not forwarded to vlan 30 user(117.17.93.132) on C4503
anyway
thanks giuslar

Hello Yun,
First of all, I am sorry for my first reply above, I mistook your question. I understood your problem occurs on the same VLAN environment, but in fact it occurs on different VLAN (routing) environment.
I looked into your configuration and test result again, and I found the strange information on mroute on both Cat6509 and Cat4503.
The (*, G) entry is appeared on Cat6509 and Cat4503 as follows,
On Cat6509
(*, 234.0.0.1), 03:23:56/00:02:55, RP 117.17.93.254, flags: SJCL
Incoming interface: Null, RPF nbr 0.0.0.0
Outgoing interface list:
Vlan93, Forward/Sparse, 01:39:28/00:02:40
Vlan540, Forward/Sparse, 03:22:55/00:02:55
On Cat4503
(*, 234.0.0.1), 01:33:36/00:00:00, RP 117.17.93.254, flags: SJCLF
Incoming interface: Port-channel1.540, RPF nbr 192.168.240.1
Outgoing interface list:
Port-channel1.30, Forward/Sparse, 01:33:36/00:02:18
But I could not find the (S, G) entry (117.17.93.200, 234.0.0.1), so I think this problem happened due to nothing/not creating (S, G) entry.
I do not know why (S, G) entry has not created on both clearly, but I experienced similar issue in the past due to sender's TTL problem and resolved it to increase TTL setting on sender.
You may find out if your problem due to TTL setting by using "show ip traffic" and check "xxxxx bad hop count" out whether xxxxx is incremented and
gathering capture data is also useful.

Shinichi

Hello Yun,
Thanks for the reply.
On Cat6509 (First hop router to sender), "bad hop count" is increasing as follows,
29543545 bad hop count
29543551 bad hop count
....
29543657 bad hop count
I don't know it caused by multicast traffic from 117.17.93.254 to 234.0.0.1.
However it may indicate there is the TTL issue (TTL is set to 1) on multicast packets from 117.17.93.254
Regards,
Shinichi
11-17-2010 09:18 PM
thanks you, snakayama
then, how i can increase the TTL value on C6509?
tell me the configuration sample.
thanks very much

Hello Yun,
I said that the TTL value within multicast packets from 117.17.93.254 to 234.0.0.1 may set to 1.
It means that the cause of the problem (TTL set to 1) may resides on multicast sender (VOD Server) not Cat6509.
So your should investigate on multicast sender (VOD Server) not Cat6509.
I think, however, you should get capture data on Cat6509 with SPAN at first to investigate TTL value on IP header of multicast packets whether TTL value is 1 or greater.
Regards,
Shinichi
