Hi Chris,

I have noticed that the output of "show igmp group brief" is listing the SSM 
sources but not the ASM sources. 

There is also something else I've uncovered which I do not know if it is 
relevant or not.
In the once freely available JUNOS Enterprise Routing guide (thanks Doug M), 
page 582, top  of the page, a note indicates that tunnel services hardware is 
required to perform the register encapsulation/decapsulation functions if PIM 
sparse mode is being used. The J and M7i's have this capability built-in. The 
note goes on to say "you can still commit a PIM sparse mode config but things 
simply won't work".

No PIM rib-groups are being used. 

Here is some other output that might be useful. 
RE0> show multicast rpf 233.3.18.5 (ASM)         
Multicast RPF table: inet.0 , 254 entries

0.0.0.0/0
    Protocol: BGP
    Interface: so-0/0/0.0
    Neighbor: 146.97.40.17

RE0> show msdp peer 146.97.40.17

Thanks 

Regards

Mike

Michael-

   SSM is working, so you've already verified that PIM is configured, as well 
as IGMP on the LAN.  If it's on the network side, it's most likely a MSDP (or 
RP) problem.  Some odd IGMP issues on the local switched network could cause a 
problem, and well as buggy host problems, both of which are harder to diagnose.

   Start at the DR router (the one closest to non-receiving beacon). 
Verify that the RP-mapping is there, and a route to the RP.   Check the 
RP to ensure that MSDP has a source-active for the group (or if the DR 
router is the RP, just check it there).   Verify RPF along the way. 
Also remember that MSDP needs to have inet.2 & interface-routes, just like PIM, 
so if you created a PIM rib-group, apply it to MSDP as well.

   This of course assumes that because you're using beacons there are several 
active sources and listeners. Otherwise, always check for active sources and 
listener interest first.
