Solved: Connection configuration between video server and first router for multicast streaming

Hi All

Here is a question. There are a lot document talking about configuration in dense mode and sparse mode connection between routers. But they do not mention configuration of first router interface connecting to Video server. Do you think we just add ip pin dense-mode or ip pin sparse-mode as other interfaces ? Thank you

All interfaces that you want to route the multicast stream over need PIM enabled.

So if you didn't enable it on the router interface connecting to the source of the multicast stream it wouldn't work.

You also need "Ip multicast-routing" enabled on all routers that are going to route the multicast stream.
