Uptime - shows how long there has been membership for the listed group on that interface Expires - shows when membership interest will end - IGMP reports from client members of this group are what keep this timer from expiring - you should see this value reset and not timeout as long as there are members present. When this timer expires - the multicast routing protocol is notified to stop delivery of that group onto this interface Only the last IGMP reporter is listed - this is due to report suppression

This is the command to verify IGMP and CGMP are enabled or disabled on the interface IGMP version can be verified with this command - this is important if you have a mixed environment of multicast routing protocols running or other routers that support different versions of IGMP - some IGMP configuration may be required IGMP timers can be verified here for tuning purposes The multicast designated router (DR) and IGMP querier for this link can also be determined with this command

This command lists the contents of the Group-to-RP Mapping Cache. In the example above, there are two group ranges covered by two different RPs, both of which have been learned via Auto-RP. (RPs can be learned either dynamically or by static configuration.) Note that there can be multiple RPs in the network each supporting a different multicast address range

Here, the router is configured with the RP's address and hence sends out a periodic JOIN towards the RP. The RP in turn sends back an RP-Reachable message in return. The WC bits indicates (*,G) state setup.

Taken from R4 (router connected to the source) - this will show the initiation of the shared tree in PIM sparse mode Part 1 - When the Source initiates transmission to Group [Link] R4 uses its (*,G) entry and sends the data to the RP encapsulated i n Register packets for the Source [Link]. Part 2 - It then creates a (S,G) entry of the form ([Link]/24,[Link]) JOIN's from its PIM Neighbors come in causing the interfaces on which the JOIN's are received to be added to the OIF -list in the Mroute table. Part 3 - R4 now starts sending periodic Null Register messages to the RP and receives Register-Stop messages. This is for maintenance of the tree.

On R1 (the RP) The RP receives the Register messages from Router R4, it decapsulates the data from the Source and forwards it down the tree towards the Receiver using the pre-existing (*,[Link]) state. Sends a JOIN towards the Source for (S,G)-> ([Link],[Link]) This builds the (S,G) mtree from the RP to the Source. (the stop the encapsulated data flow to a native IPmc flow) Meanwhile the (*,G) is periodically renewed by the routers on the Receiver side of the mtree. The RP continues to send out periodic JOIN's for (S,G) to maintain state. The RP continues to receive the Null Register messages sent out by R6. The RP then receives a PRUNE from R5 for (S,G) with the RP bit set. The RP bit indicates that the tree is switching from a Shared tree to the Shortest Path tree (SPT). The S bit also signifies the switch.

Debugging Strategies
Signaling is the process of setting up (and tearing down) the multicast session Packet flow is the actual sending, replication, and reception of the multicast packets based on the forwarding tables created by the signalling processes Each section of the table needs to be working for the application to work A similar table could be developed for unicast IP or other technologies, but the tools used to troubleshoot each case are different

Checking source packet flow

How can we tell if the source is actually sourcing packets? First, check the interface counters on the source host to see if *it* thinks it is sending packets - if it doesnt, then it probably isnt. Check for misconfiguration or bugs in the host stack and application. Next, check the first upstream router or switch to see if it sees multicast packets from the source, using show commands Only if necessary, run debug ip mpacket on the route. This could have a serious performance impact on other traffic, so use with caution. The detail parameter for this command can be used to include packet headers in the debug output, and access lists can be used in conjunction with this command to check for traffic from specific sources.
