[j-nsp] Multicast, ASM and SSM

[Chris Spears]

Michael-

   SSM is working, so you've already verified that PIM is configured, as 
well as IGMP on the LAN.  If it's on the network side, it's most likely 
a MSDP (or RP) problem.  Some odd IGMP issues on the local switched 
network could cause a problem, and well as buggy host problems, both of 
which are harder to diagnose.

   Start at the DR router (the one closest to non-receiving beacon). 
Verify that the RP-mapping is there, and a route to the RP.   Check the 
RP to ensure that MSDP has a source-active for the group (or if the DR 
router is the RP, just check it there).   Verify RPF along the way. 
Also remember that MSDP needs to have inet.2 & interface-routes, just 
like PIM, so if you created a PIM rib-group, apply it to MSDP as well.

   This of course assumes that because you're using beacons there are 
several active sources and listeners. Otherwise, always check for active 
sources and listener interest first.
