Multicast PIM NBMA Mode

Hi Davis,

I’m afraid not. The AutoRP addresses 224.0.1.39 and 224.0.1.40 are using dense mode flooding and this is not supported by NBMA mode. If your mapping agent is behind a spoke router then you’ll have to pick one of the three options to fix this:

  • Get rid of the point-to-multipoint interfaces and use sub-interfaces. This will allow the hub router to forward multicast to all spoke routers since we are using different interfaces to send and receive traffic.
  • Move the mapping agent to a router above the hub router, make sure it's not behind a spoke router.
  • Create a tunnel between the spoke routers so that they can learn directly from each other.
