Unable to add Router to Layer 2 Multicast platform

Drew
Level 1
Level 1

I have a layer 2 network configure for multicast traffic. 

1. I have two switches --3750.   Switch1 is the core switch and switch 2 is trunked from switch 1. 

2. the multicast server is connected to switch 2 via and access port in a vlan...Lets say vlan 5

3. switch 1(core) has various vlans configured on it, to include vlan 5.  The multicast server has an IP in the vlan 5 network and the port on switch 2 is in vlan 5.  Now, because these switches are igmp enabled no need to put PiM protocol.  I just enabled Multicast-Routing on both.

4.  I have a receiver who is in vlan 5 and is able to View the multicast traffic on either switch as long as its assigned to vlan 5.

AT THIS POINT ALL IS WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*******BEFORE I ADD ANYTHING ELSE NOTE THAT THIS WAS CONFIGURED AS ROUTER ON A STICK WITH SUBINF ON THE ROUTER WITH VLAN 5*****************WORKED WELL BUT IM TRYING TO REMOVE ALL LAYER 2 FUNCTION OFF THE ROUTER, IF POSSIBLE.

Problem:

With the same setup I want to add the router to the multicast tree so that the ports on the router will participate and I can add a switch to the router and a receiver can access the multicast traffic. 

1.  on switch 1 added ip routing and made one of the ports a routed port to the router.  so switch port gi1/0/24 and router port gi0/0 are now in the same /29 network.

2. I have enabled PIM Dense-mode on both ports: gi1/0/24 and Rtr gi0/0.  I have also added ip igmp join for my multicast address.

3. On the router I have enabled multicast-routing.   I have also added ip igmp join for my multicast address on gi0/0

4. I repeated the same on gi0/1: PIM dense, ip igmp join,  multicast-routing, and Ipaddr to another network.   this is where I want to add another switch.  but at the moment I have a test laptop running VLC to receive the traffic to no avail.

 

Im not even sure if this is possible but I wanted to reach out to see if this is even possible since the Mserver is on a switch this time as oppose to have  a multicast server on the router casting down to the switches.

I also tried adding ip igmp snooping quirer on the router .. still a no go..

Any advice!!!!! thanks
