All things related to multicast

[Bruno De Troch <>]

Hi Michael,

do you have PIM enabled on the FE side? The router should know it is DR for 
that segment, so it needs PIM to find out.
Also what IGMP version do you have enabled on the FE?
Maybe you can send me some output directly.



Cheers,

Bruno
