In SM, join and prune information expires in 5 minutes and is deleted, so periodic refresh is needed for maintenance
False, in 3 minutes
What command to display the mroute in XR
show mrib ipv4
S,G: ___flag indicates entry created as a result of the SPT threshold being violated and Switchover having been executed S,G: ___ flag indicates traffic received successfully via SPT
J, T
What are the configuration forms of the RP
Static (Does not allow redundancy) Dynamic: – Auto RP — Candidate RP announces via 224.0.1.39 (Mapping agents) — Mapping agent announces via RP via 224.0.1.40 (all routers) — Routers cannot send multicast in SM without an RP —– Sparse dense mode —– Auto RP Listener
When enabling PIM all routers automatically join the group 224.0.1.40 to receive updates from the mapping agent that has the function of informing which is the RP
224.0.1.40
How does the Auto RP listener work
As routers in sparse mode cannot transmit multicast without an RP, there is a chicken and egg problem, solved by the auto-RP listener. The Auto RP listener forces the network to operate in dense mode specifically for the groups of the auto RP election process. 224.0.1.39 (auto RP candidate announcement) 224.0.1.40 (auto RP announcement)
Auto RP Candidate A candidate sends messages to the group 224.0.1.39 in dense mode every___ secs announcing itself Hold time___ secs
60 secs, 180 secs
The ____ _______ receives the candidacies, elects an RP, and informs other routers via _________ in ____ mode
mapping agent, 224.0.1.40, dense
What are the configurations for Candidate RP?
ip pim send-rp-announce interface router pim auto-rp candidate-rp interface
What are the configurations for Mapping Agent?
ip pim send-rp-discovery Router pim auto-rp mapping-agent interface
__________ _________ ________ is a datagram delivery model that best suits one-to-many applications
Source Specific Multicast – SSM
Has only (S,G) states Does not use shared tree, only SPT whose root is the source Senders inform which sources they want to receive the flow from No need for MSDP for multidomain flows There is a specific range for use in SPT SSM: 232.0.0.0/8 The LHR can send a join message immediately towards the source as the sender has already informed which source it wants to receive the flow from
Source Specific Multicast – SSM
Range SSM
232.0.0.0/8
BIDI PIM eliminates _____ states
S,G
PIM BIDI The __________ __________ Router with the lowest IGP unicast cost to the RP Responsible for forwarding flow Downstream towards the receiver Upstream towards the RP The use of DF eliminates loops
designated Forwarder
In BIDI PIM all traffic flows via RP
True
