Implementing Cisco Service Provider Advanced Routing Solutions (SPRI) — Question 148

The ISP_A network is configured with PIMv2 with sparse mode. The engineering team at ISP_A must implement multicast support following RFC 5059 in the network. The RP priority will be 0, and the solution must require limited supervision from the operations team. Which action must the team take to meet the requirements?

Answer options

• A. Implement Static RP across all routers in the network.
• B. Implement Auto-RP on the candidate RP and the mapping agent only.
• C. Implement Anycast-RP on edge routers only.
• D. Implement bootstrap router in the network core.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because implementing a bootstrap router helps in automating the discovery of RPs, which aligns with the need for limited supervision. Option A requires manual configuration across all routers, which contradicts the requirement for minimal oversight. Option B only covers candidate RPs and mapping agents, which may not suffice in a broader network. Option C limits the implementation to edge routers, which does not fulfill the multicast support requirements effectively.
