Alan,

your configuration snippet shows cgmp enabled on the two router
interfaces. i'm assuming there are cgmp-enabled switches on one
or both subnets as well. i don't think cgmp and ssm can play together
on the receiver's network. see CSCdt45511:

"If an interface configured for IGMP version 3 is also configured
for CGMP, and if there is also a switch connected to the interface
enabled for CGMP, then receiver hosts using IGMPv3 will not
correctly receive IP Multicast traffic. The reason for this
failure is that the router does not correctly generate CGMP join
messages upon receipt of IGMP version 3 membership reports from
the host.

"Workaround: If CGMP is required on an interface to support a CGMP
switch in the network, then the router can be configured for
IGMP version 2, forcing hosts to generate IGMPv2 membership
reports. This workaround inhibits SSM with IGMPv3. You can
still use IGMPv3lite and URD in this configuration in support
of SSM though . If SSM with IGMPv3 is required, you must disable
CGMP on the switches until this ddts is resolved."

this bug report is still open; there is no "first fixed-in version" shown.

have you been pestering your switch salescritters for igmpv3 snooping?
i've been pestering ours, to little avail. i still don't know of any
switch that can do v3 snooping.

cheers,
ken
