No DR for PIM interface?

KGrev

Hello,

I have an internal switch with a tunnel to an external router. While troubleshooting some multicast issues I noticed the tunnel has no DR when I "show ip pim interface".

Annotation 2023-11-01 120817.jpg

The distant router across the tunnel shows the same thing. Is this an issue. I am experiencing video stream issues on the distant end router but until now I was assuming it was fragmentation woes. Should I bee seeing a DR?

Thank you for any help.

interface Tunnel10
description LTE_10
bandwidth 10000
ip address 10.50.55.1 255.255.255.252
no ip redirects
no ip unreachables
no ip proxy-arp
ip mtu 1430
ip pim dr-priority 10
ip pim sparse-mode
ip tcp adjust-mss 1400
ip ospf message-digest-key 1 md5 7 xxxxxxxxx
ip ospf 10 area 0
tunnel source Loopback0
tunnel destination 10.50.9.20

In PIM designated router elections are used to determine which router should forward joins upstream on multi access segments. Since your GRE tunnel isn't a multiaccess segment there is no need for a PIM DR.
