Hi, Group.
Sorry, Bit. but "IGMP is enabled on a interface only when pim is
enabled" is not true.
Because it works with Router-Router but not works with Router-3550. I
guess that it is something specific with multicast working on switches,
but I can't find any information about it.

Example with Router-Router:
R5 s0/1 <--- PPP ---> s 0/1 R4

R4:
ip multicast-routing
interface Serial0/1
 ip address 152.1.54.4 <http://152.1.54.4/> 255.255.255.0
<http://255.255.255.0/>
 encapsulation ppp
 ip igmp join-group 225.4.4.4 <http://225.4.4.4/>
<- there is no ip pim command on this interface !!!

R5:
ip multicast-routing
interface Serial0/1
 ip address 152.1.54.5 <http://152.1.54.5/> 255.255.255.0
<http://255.255.255.0/>
 ip pim dense-mode
 encapsulation ppp
 clock rate 512000

And it's work WITHOUT PIM enabled on R4:

Rack1R5#ping 225.4.4.4 <http://225.4.4.4/>
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 1, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 225.4.4.4 <http://225.4.4.4/>, timeout
is 2 seconds:
Reply to request 0 from 152.1.54.4 <http://152.1.54.4/>, 4 ms

But with 3550 it's not work!!! Why?

WBR,
Maxim
