Multicast data is abnormally terminated on an intermediate device

Symptom

An intermediate device can receive multicast data successfully, but the data cannot reach the last-hop device. An interface on the intermediate device receives multicast data but does not create an (S, G) entry in the PIM routing table.

Solution

To resolve the problem:

  1. Use display current-configuration to verify the multicast forwarding boundary settings. Use multicast boundary to change the multicast forwarding boundary settings to make the multicast packet able to cross the boundary.

  2. Use display current-configuration to verify the multicast source policy. Change the ACL rule defined in the source-policy command so that the source/group address of the multicast data can pass ACL filtering.

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