I know this has been over and over... but there are always new guys
around.... so here it is again...

I need your expertise . I am labbing up a Hub and spoke scenario.

R2 is the MA and is also the RP for the mcast groups

R1 and R3 are Spokes

R3 f0/0 is set to ip igmp join-group 224.3.3.3

I'm running ospf in all networks.... all is area 0 ( very simple!)

this is the isse I'm facig. If I set the FR network as OSPF network
point-to-multipoint the R1 ( spoke) pings 224.3.3.3 just fine, if I set the
network to the default ( non broadcast), it does not work.

In one network type, or in the other, all unicasts pings works fine...

with few investigation I saw that when My topology is set to non-broadcast,
the mcast group gets "P"runned with 3 packets or less.... If the network is
set to P2M, the ping works fine, the network does not get prunned and the
"T" flag is set.

I know P2M modifies the nex-hop value of the routes, but I know know what
else could that make in order to make my topology not to work., I really
don't knwo how that come... the pings stops because the network get's all
prunned... not because of RF failure...actually neigher scenarios I face RPF
problems.

Thank you !!

Daniel.
