I just need to ‘join’ client and server interface together both upstream and downstream to each other, specifically udp, all works fine but as you can see above, it throws the warning :frowning:, please help to eliminate the warning :slight_smile:.

anyone can help?

can you see router in neighbors? also, what version you are using?

have you tried to reboot router when applied the settings?, have you tried to reboot other routers in the multicast cloud?

yes both of the device can see the router, hmm, it’s only 1 router used, in simple word i wanted to interconnected 2 devices from 2 different subnet which is these 2 :

3 D 192.168.66.0/30    0.0.0.0         0      Client   
5 D 192.168.88.0/30    0.0.0.0         0      Server

The purpose of ip routing pim can be applied for my case right? or i get the concept wrong?. My topology

    Mikrotik RB 1100
       |          |
       |          |
       |          |
   Client     Server

hmm.. you have to set only 2 interfaces and rp for this to work in either direction even if you have nat in between.

yes i have set the interface only 2, server and client but somehow mikrotik added another available online interface into /routing pim mrib

Both client and server has internet access, could be one of the reason mikrotik adding more mrib? , how to stop mikrotik automatically adding these?

they are taken from routing table, it is not possible to change that.
