A service provider is deploying PIM sparse mode in a new region. The network team wants to minimize configuration overhead and avoid manual RP address changes when the RP router is replaced. They also need to ensure that all routers dynamically learn the RP. Which approach should they use?

Enable Auto-RP with a mapping agent and candidate RP.

Configure the RP address only on the designated router.

Configure a static RP on every router in the region.

Use only PIM dense mode to avoid the need for an RP.

A service provider is designing multicast RP redundancy. They have two routers that can serve as RPs. They need automatic failover with minimal convergence time and want to avoid the complexity of running both BSR and Auto-RP. They also want to ensure that the RP selection is deterministic across the network. Which approach best meets these requirements?

Use static RP with a floating static route to the backup RP.

Use BSR with both routers as candidate RPs with the same priority.

Use both BSR and Auto-RP simultaneously for redundancy.

Use Auto-RP with two mapping agents and two candidate RPs.

A network administrator is troubleshooting an Auto-RP issue. They notice that routers are not learning the RP information. What should they check first?

That the mapping agent is reachable and configured correctly.

That the RP is configured as a static RP.

That the multicast group is in dense mode.

When troubleshooting RP-related issues, what does the 'show pim rps' command primarily help you verify?

The RP address and group mappings

The number of multicast packets forwarded

The unicast routing table entries

In the BSR mechanism, what is the role of the Bootstrap Router (BSR)?

To act as the RP for all multicast groups in the domain

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

To elect the designated router on each multi-access network

To forward multicast data packets between sources and receivers

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.
