IPv4 Multicast Routing Communication Failure

3. Troubleshooting Functional Failures in Operation

3.8IPv4 Multicast Routing Communication Failure

Actions to be taken if IPv4 multicast communication failures occur on this system are described below.

3.8.1Communication on IPv4 PIM-SM Network Is Disabled

If multicast relay is disabled in the IPv4 PIN-SM network configuration, isolate the cause according to the failure analysis method below.

The figure below illustrates a network example of IPv4 PIM-SM.

Note

•BSR: This router delivers rendezvous point information (for details, see the manual "Configuration Settings").

•Rendezvous point router: This router relays the packets, for which the relay destination is not determined, toward the multicast receiver (for details, see the manual "Configuration Settings").

•first-hop-router: This router is directly connected to the multicast sender.

•last-hop-router: This router is directly connected to the multicast receiver.
