[Xorp-users] Help Needed in PIM-Join Messages !!

[Williams, Mark]

You need to uncomment the section on fib2mrib in the configuration on your DSR. PIM routers need to use the unicast forwarding table to be able to find the reverse path back to the RP.

If you configure the RP router as a BSR and candidate RP, then let the DSR learn the RP information using bootstrap; don't configure it statically.

Subject: [Xorp-users] Help Needed in PIM-Join Messages !!

Hi Guys,
I have a requirement to bring up Multicast Routing [IPv4 Network] with pimsm4. The Topology that I am trying to configure is ;
"Multicast Sender <--------->RP<------------->DSR<-------------->Multicast Listener". I have connected everything Point- Point. So., No need to worry about routes.

I am seeing that Listener is sending IGMPv3 Join reports to the DSR. But even though pim-sm is running on DSR; it is NOT sending PIM-Join Messages to the RP. I have configured staticrp in the DSR & and the connectivity between the RP & DSP is Fine. I have attached the configuration file of both the RP & DSR. Please let me know what configuration am I missing !!!

Few Doubts:
1] Also another question is., If I am enabling IGMP on both the interfaces of DSR & RP will that matter & effect PIM Routing ??
2] How Plumbing effects Multicast Routing.


-Thanks in Advance,
VKS.
