Static multicast route failure

Symptom

No dynamic routing protocol is enabled on the routers, and the physical status and link layer status of interfaces are both up, but the static multicast route fails.

Solution

To resolve the problem:

  1. Use the display multicast routing-table static command to display information about static multicast routes. Verify that the static multicast route has been correctly configured and the route entry exists in the static multicast routing table.

  2. Check the type of interface that connects to the RPF neighbor. If the interface is not a point-to-point interface, specify the RPF neighbor by its IP address in the static multicast route.

  3. If the problem persists, contact Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support.
