Question : Multicast MoH over GRE Cannot locate GCE with IGMP for internal calls

Hi,
i have an issue where Music on Hold streamed from a Cisco Call Manager does not play for internal calls but works for external calls from the voice gateway
The Call Manager (7.0.1.21018-4) is located in a Data Centre and the phones at a branch office.

The voice gateway (2841) at the branch with an E1 has a sub interface in the same voice vlan as the phones and has a gre tunnel to the core switch at the DC (6509E).

The core Switch is configured as the RP, pim-sparse mode enabled for the tunnel interface and the vlan interface that the MoH Source is in.

At The Branch, the voice gateway (2841) has pim-sparse configured on the voice vlan sub interface and tunnel interface.
the LAN consists of a 3750-24 switch (Std Image) and a 3560G(stdImage) as the core with other switches as spokes.

All switches have dynamically discovered the igmp mrouter interface correctly, but when the phones try to join the group, the following messages are logged on the 3750 where the Voice gateway handling multicast routing is connected

attached is an igmp debug on the 3750
I could not find much on the "cannot locate GCE error"
i can't see any pim joins on the core switch.

Answer : Multicast MoH over GRE Cannot locate GCE with IGMP for internal calls

hi
i fixed this issue by changing the multicast group address to a lower address. i came across a forum where it was mentioned that there is an issue with arp resolution with higher multicast addresses.
once i changed the address, it worked straight away.
