Hello<br />
<br />
I have a multicast problem and as I understand it I have multicast setup correctly. &nbsp;Basically I have a multicast server, a VLC server udp multicasting a mp3 file, but the traffic can’t escape the local vlan even though ip pim sparse mode is setup. &nbsp;The rendezvous point is on the vlan that one of the receivers is on.<br />
<br />
I’m lost as to why the traffic can’t escape its own vlan. &nbsp;Attached is a picture of the layout.<br />
<br />
Any help is greatly appreciated.<br />

Hello

Multicast Routing &quot;PIM&quot; cant escape local vlan

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.
