  • 1.  Testing multicast on small setup

    Posted 09-20-2014 16:56

    Hi all,

     

        I am trying to test a small multicast setup and it's not working. The setup conists of four routers. Router3 is acting as the source of the multicast traffic and Router4 is acting as the client joining the multicast group. The multicast group is 224.140.140.1. Below is the network diagram and the configs for the four routers. I am sending pings from router to group 224.140.140.1 and on Router4 I have joined the group using interface fe-0/0/0.

     

    Router1:

    Check page 22-24 of:

    http://www.juniper.net/us/en/training/jnbooks/day-one/networking-technologies-series/a-packet-walkthrough/

    It's a MVPN example but you'll see some tricks that apply to IPv4 multicast too.

    The First-Hop Router and the Last-Hop Router must be the DR at the host-facing segments.

    Hi,

     

    There are a few things to check.

     

     

    Router3 is the source, it doesn't need to run PIM. Same for Router4 which is the receiver.

    Thus let's call them respectively Host3 and Host4 just to avoid confusions.

     

     

     

    You should start by confirming that all your PIM routers know the correct RP.  From your configs it appears to me the RP is Router2 with IP 160.6.6.6 and it is learned statically. In that case on Router1 the configuration should include the following lines:

     

    pim {
    rp {
        static {
            address 160.6.6.6;
        }
    }
    }

    You can then confirm running show pim rps

     

     

    Then as I said earlier you don't need to run PIM on the source Host3. Disable it, this will ensure that Router1 is the DR for the subnet Router1-Host3.

     

     

     

    Also the IGMP static group membership should not be configured on the receiver Host4 but on the DR for that subnet (in your scenario it would be Router2).
