Source sends multicast data to the multicast group 225.1.1.1 and Receiver can receive the

multicast data after joining the multicast group. You can view the PIM routing table information

on routers using the display pim routing-table command. For example:

# View the PIM routing table information on Switch C.

[SwitchC] display pim routing-table

VPN-Instance: public net

Total 1 (*, G) entry; 1 (S, G) entry

(*, 225.1.1.1)

Protocol: pim-dm, Flag: WC

UpTime: 00:04:25

Upstream interface: NULL

Upstream neighbor: NULL

RPF prime neighbor: NULL

Downstream interface(s) information:

Total number of downstreams: 1

1: Vlan-interface200

Protocol: igmp, UpTime: 00:04:25, Expires: never

(10.1.1.100, 225.1.1.1)

Protocol: pim-dm, Flag: ACT

UpTime: 00:06:14

Upstream interface: Tunnel0

Upstream neighbor: 50.1.1.1

RPF prime neighbor: 50.1.1.1

Downstream interface(s) information:

Total number of downstreams: 1

1: Vlan-interface200

Protocol: pim-dm, UpTime: 00:04:25, Expires: never

As shown above, Switch A is the RPF neighbor of Switch C and the multicast data from Switch

A is delivered over a GRE tunnel to Switch C.

Troubleshooting Multicast Routing and Forwarding

Multicast Static Route Failure

Symptom

No dynamic routing protocol is enabled on the routers, and the physic status and link layer

status of interfaces are both up, but the multicast static route fails.

Analysis

z

If the multicast static route is not configured or updated correctly to match the current

network conditions, the route entry and the configuration information of multicast static

routes do not exist in the multicast routing table.

z

If a better route is found, the multicast static route may also fail.

Solution

1) In the configuration, you can use the display multicast routing-table static config

command to view the detailed configuration information of multicast static routes to verify

that the multicast static route has been correctly configured and the route entry exists.
