I have my RP at the hub site, with my MA deployed at a spoke. Straight away I ran into issues with my MA announcements, on 224.0.1.40, being sent to my other spoke routers, to the hub site no issues.

I then remembered that these announcements are sent to your PIM neighbours only, and my initial thought was that enabling autorp listener on the hub would resolve the issue.

I configured no ip split horizon on the interface thinking is it a split horizon issue, but this is for routing right? so a red herring? > > 2. With the frame-relay map statements, why didn't my spokes become neighbours?

Short of using a GRE tunnel is this my only option?
