Good morning, I’m working on multicast scenarios at home in preparation for the CCNP switching exam. I feel comfortable and can make work most of the concepts work, but I’m having difficulty with the PIM sparse and sparse-dense modes.
I have a setup like this; Sender --E-- Cat5000 --FE-- 2620 --S-- 2514 --E-- 1912 --E— Receiver E stands for Ethernet, FE for fast and S for serial. The sender is a multicast server sending out a stream via Windows Media Server on .Net. The receiver is an XP pro client. When I configure all the router ports as dense-mode I’m successful connecting to the streaming video from the client. However, when I try using either the sparse or sparse-dense mode, I’m having trouble understanding the RP concept as explained in the CiscoPress books or CCO. Of course the client cannot see the video stream. I know that I have to define an RP server or use AutoRP but I can’t quite figure out how. Help?
