multiple RP sources in one X460

Michael_Suggs1 — Tue, 08 Mar 2016 21:52:00 GMT

I have a 460 with pim sparse to a external RP off my network. I pull 324 multicast via this sparse vlan. the rest of my network is currently dense, working as it is , I want to convert my entire network from dense to all sparse. which will cause me to have a different RP on my own network. could i use the inter-VR solution to pass multicast from my current sparse Vlan (add it to a new VR) over to the current VR-Default network soon to use sparse?
I was also considering using MSDP. thanks in advance,

I would recommend using MSDP instead. Or not sure how your setup is but mvr could work ? If you only have to listen to igmp on the receiver sid you could leak it to a mvr (spares) vlan.

Hi,

remember that MSDP is working only in VR-Default

have not cut yet, but i believe i will just point to the two separate RP's and use two separate policy's

configure pim add vlan "Video-10Gig" sparse
configure pim add vlan "IPTV" sparse
configure pim crp static 192.168.1.1 "MC-cspire" 0
configure pim crp static 192.0.2.1 "MC-bude" 0
