Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 409

A new multicast server is being added to an existing PIM Sparse mode network. Which device in this network must the new server register with before its multicast traffic can be dispersed throughout the network?

Answer options

• A. IGMP Querier
• B. Local PIM router
• C. Local IGMP switch
• D. Rendezvous Point (RP)

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, the Rendezvous Point (RP), as it serves as the central point for multicast group membership and traffic distribution in PIM Sparse mode. The other options, such as IGMP Querier, Local PIM router, and Local IGMP switch, do not have the same role in facilitating multicast traffic registration and distribution.
