An RP cannot join an SPT in PIM-SM

Symptom

An RPT cannot be correctly built, or an RP cannot join the SPT toward the multicast source.

Solution

To resolve the problem:

  1. Use display ip routing-table to verify that a unicast route to the RP is available on each device.

  2. Use display pim rp-info to verify that the dynamic RP information is consistent on all devices.

  3. Use display pim rp-info to verify that the same static RPs are configured on all devices on the network.

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