I'm working on trying to fix a 3ROX member's multicast connectivity. On one of their internal routers we see:

hsc-1#sh ip rpf 141.142.2.55
RPF information for jhereg.ncsa.uiuc.edu (141.142.2.55)
RPF interface: GigabitEthernet1/1
RPF neighbor: hsc-inet-vl998.nsog.wvu.edu (10.0.6.114)
RPF route/mask: 157.182.0.0/16
RPF type: unicast ()
RPF recursion count: 0
Doing distance-preferred lookups across tables

I could understand an RPF route of 141.142.0.0/16 or one of 0.0.0.0/0. However, I have no idea how their own campus network block could be the RPF route. The only straw I see to grasp at is that they have a default gateway, but not a default route, on the router (some flavor of Cisco).

Any insight?

Thanks,

Michael
