Multicast Tunneling


Scenario

It’s your first day in the army working as a networking professional. You are sent to a small international outpost to look after the network. It’s a rather old network but they need you to install Multicast so they can stream audio in a efficient matter over the network. There is one problem though…there’s one router that is so old that it doesn’t support Multicast, let’s check it out.

Goal:

  • All IP addresses have been preconfigured for you.
  • Configure OSPF on all routers, achieve full connectivity.
  • You are allowed to configure dense-mode Multicast on all routers EXCEPT router Charlie.
  • Configure router Echo to join the following multicast group:
    224.1.1.1
  • Start a ping from router Alpha to the multicast group address 224.1.1.1 to generate traffic.
  • Make sure router Echo can receive the multicast stream without configuring multicast on router Charlie.

  1. Rene,

    FYI, none of the routers are preconfigured with IP addresses in this lab.

    I am going thru your labs to prepare for the ROUTE & TSHOOT exams, along with other resources. I really am thankful you are doing this. Really helps my preparation for the exams.

    Thanks again and keep up the great work. All you endeavors.

  2. Rene, i know you are such perfect author, but, when recording videos no one is able to see the commands. we only listen your voice
    so please make your videos visible for us.
    i bought a ccnp route from you and planning ccnp t-shoot and switching from you again. but labs are so poor to see them.
    thank you
