Hi Simon

With OSPF or EIGRP or RIPv2, the router keep listening to a multicast
address for updates. For example for RIP, the router listens to 224.0.0.9.

You need not configure "ip igmp join-group" on the router's interface to
listen to 224.0.0.9 to get RIP routing updates. The router does it
automatically. But for other multicast feeds, you need to configure the
router using "ip igmp join-group" or "ip igmp static-group".



With GETVPN, to make the Group member automatically start listening to the
rekey updates, the Key Server has that ACL configured

I configure the following ACL in the Key server.

access-list 121 permit ip any host 239.0.1.2


When this ACL is downloaded to Group Member, it start listening to 239.0.1.2
from any source. When the Key server sends the rekey using the multicast
address 239.0.1.2, the Group member recieves it.



With regards
Kings
