N7K-C7010 NX-OS 5.2.1 with N7K-M108X2-12L Unable to Run Multicast Routing

[emcueto08]

Hi Guys,

Need your help on this.

I have an N7N-C7010 running NX-OS 5.2.1 with N7K-SUP1 and N7K-M108X2-12L.

I was unable to run Multicast Routing (Inter-VLAN Multicast)

Here are the configurations:

interface Vlan131

  ip address 10.240.141.2/24

  ip ospf passive-interface

  ip router ospf 10 area 0.0.0.0

  ip pim sparse-mode

  ip igmp version 2

  hsrp 131

    preempt

    priority 105

    ip 10.240.141.1

  ip dhcp relay address 10.240.131.13

  no shutdown

interface Vlan14

  ip address 10.240.144.2/23

  ip ospf passive-interface

  ip router ospf 10 area 0.0.0.0

  ip pim sparse-mode

  ip igmp version 2

  hsrp 14

    preempt

    priority 105

    ip 10.240.144.1

  ip dhcp relay address 10.240.2.100

Source is connected on VLAN131 while the client on VLAN14.

Hope someone can reply today. Need your feedbacks asap as I'm on-site right now.

Thanks,

Not familiar with Nexus switches so these questions might not be applicable but  -

1) have you configured an RP ? If not you can either -

a) configure the Nexus to be an RP

or

b) configure "ip pim sparse-dense-mode" under the vlan interfaces (if supported)

2) have you checked that the TTL of the packets is greater than 1 (it needs to be to be routed across the vlan interfaces). The TTL settings would be on the actual source ie. usually set in the application itself.

Hi Jon,

For now its just inter-VLAN routing and I don't think we need RP right away.

There's no option if sparse-dense on Nexus.

As requested, please see output below:

Is it because it is all on one switch you say you do not need an RP ?

My understanding of PIM sparse mode was that an RP was required and not optional.

Could you try just configuring the Nexus as the RP and see what happens ?

Can you also post output of "sh ip mroute "

Hi Jon,

Right now were doing the test on multicast address 239.0.1.2 between VLANs 131(server) and 14(listener).

Thanks,

Eugene
