What is the purpose of configuring multiple RPs for different multicast groups?

To simplify the configuration by using a single RP for all groups

To ensure that all groups use the same RP for consistency

To reduce the load on a single RP and provide redundancy

To eliminate the need for a designated router

A network administrator has configured a static RP address of 192.0.2.10 on all routers in a PIM sparse-mode domain. After configuration, multicast traffic for group 239.1.1.1 is not flowing. The administrator checks the PIM neighbors and sees that all routers have formed adjacencies. What should the administrator verify next?

That the multicast group is in dense mode.

That the RP is configured as a BSR candidate.

That the RP is the designated router on the source LAN.

That the RP address is reachable from all routers.

How are group-to-RP mappings determined in PIM?

By the unicast routing table, using the next hop to the source

By the source IP address of the multicast traffic

By the priority of the RP, with the highest priority winning

By the multicast group address, using the longest prefix match

A network administrator is deploying Auto-RP in a multicast domain. They want to use two routers as candidate RPs for different group ranges: Router A for 239.1.0.0/16 and Router B for 239.2.0.0/16. They also want to ensure that if one candidate RP fails, the other can take over for the failed group range. What configuration should they use?

Configure Router A as candidate RP for 239.1.0.0/16 and Router B as a BSR candidate.

Configure Router A as candidate RP for 239.1.0.0/16 and Router B as candidate RP for 239.2.0.0/16, with no additional configuration.

Configure both routers as candidate RPs for both group ranges.

Configure Router A as mapping agent and Router B as candidate RP for both group ranges.

In Auto-RP, what is the role of the mapping agent?

To collect candidate RP advertisements and distribute the RP mappings to all routers

To act as the RP for all multicast groups

To forward multicast data packets between sources and receivers

To elect the designated router on each multi-access network

Part of the IP Multicast domain, which makes up ~18% of our current practice bank. Juniper Networks does not publish an official question count, but from its 90-minute exam (~35–60 total, ~6–11 in this domain), expect 1–1 from this objective — we provide 20 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
