In PIM sparse mode, what is the primary role of the Rendezvous Point (RP)?

To replace the need for a designated router on every multi-access network

To forward all multicast traffic directly to all receivers without any registration process

To maintain the unicast routing table and perform reverse path forwarding checks for all multicast groups

To act as the root of the shared tree and facilitate the connection between sources and receivers

A network administrator is configuring Auto-RP. They want to use a router as a mapping agent and another router as a candidate RP. What is the role of the mapping agent?

To announce the candidate RP to all routers.

To act as the RP for multicast groups.

A network administrator is configuring Auto-RP. They have two candidate RPs: Router A with a higher IP address and Router B with a lower IP address. They want Router A to be the active RP for group 239.1.1.0/24. What should they do?

Configure Router A with a higher priority than Router B for that group range.

Configure Router B with a higher priority than Router A for that group range.

Configure Router B as the mapping agent.

Configure Router A as the mapping agent.

What is the purpose of a candidate RP in Auto-RP?

To elect the mapping agent for the domain

To forward multicast data packets to receivers

To advertise its willingness to act as an RP for specific multicast groups

To distribute the RP mappings to all routers
