Hi there! Just a quick answer. First of all thanx for all your replies, it's very valuable. In regards to the article about HSRP/PIM problems, I have also found that one, but it didn't fit into the problem (sadly..). I'm at home today with no access to the equipment, but I'll continue with it tomorrow together with a collegue of mine. The router CPU-load is very low, there is now traffic since this is only done in our lab-enviroment for the moment. In regards to RP or not RP, it doesn't matter, for the moment it's configured with BSR's where wg3r2 is the Candidate-RP for a couple of groups. The adjacency is the same even if we run Auto-RP. In regards to PIM only sparse or only dense...haven't tried that yet :-)
I visited Networks in Copenhagen for about a month ago, and the lecture on multicast from Beau Williamson was very interesting, and yes it's very true Paul Werner that he recommend you to only run sparse-mode...but for Auto-RP you need sparse-dense... Anyway, I need to run of to meeting now, I'll be back tomorrow with some more stuff.. Take care there! /Peter ""richard beddow"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > Paul, > > Peter is running sparse-dense so any mcast group without a configure RP will > be handled using dense mode. > > Also we have I dentified that not only PIM is involved hear, OSPF and HSRP > also fails when all three are configured. > > Peter, > > Assuming the routers have enough resource, check by looking at CPU > utilisation and mem allocation ewhen problem occurs, I think you should log > this on CCO and see what Cisco say. > > I have seen something a little similar on a 6509 running 12.2 IOS.
