Question 750
For this Cisco ENSLD design case: A PIM sparse-mode domain lacks a rendezvous point strategy and receivers cannot find new source traffic. Which technical principle BEST explains the design decision?
Explanation
Correct Answer
PIM sparse-mode any-source multicast may use an RP to help establish shared-tree membership and source discovery. The correct engineering response is: Design a reachable and appropriately redundant RP mechanism for applicable ASM groups. The observable check is: Receivers join through the intended RP and source-to-group forwarding establishes after source activation.
Incorrect Answers
PIM sparse-mode any-source multicast may use an RP to help establish shared-tree membership and source discovery. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: Shared trees organize joins around a rendezvous point while source trees follow paths toward a particular sender. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.
PIM sparse-mode any-source multicast may use an RP to help establish shared-tree membership and source discovery. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: Multicast RPF checks rely on the unicast or multicast routing view of the source path to avoid loops. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.
PIM sparse-mode any-source multicast may use an RP to help establish shared-tree membership and source discovery. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: OOB management can remain accessible when an in-band production network or routing plane fails. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.
