Hi , you cant ping "static group" because it just forward the traffic to wire .
let say you have a device which does not have igmp capability but you want to forward the traffic to it , (may be for scanning/analysis by ips etc) . Something like proxying igmp request ... where as "join group" is mearly used for testing purposes ...it joins the router interface to received the feed.So when you see interface replying to you mulitcast pings ..end to end muliticast distribution tree is working fine... so each command has different functionalitly ...now let me which is does cef and which one does process switching :-) On Wed, Jun 5, 2013 at 3:46 PM, Taqdir Singh <[email protected]> wrote: > hi team.. > > when i join group using static group command on a router > i am not able to ping it.. > > same I am able to ping using join group command.. > > what is purpose of static group and is used for what ? > _______________________________________________ > For more information regarding industry leading CCIE Lab training, please > visit www.ipexpert.com > > Are you a CCNP or CCIE and looking for a job?
