HPE Aruba Certified Mobility Professional (ACMP) — Question 74

A network administrator needs to configure PIM across several AOS-Switches in the same routing domain.
What correctly describes how they can implement PIM modes?

Answer options

• A. Switches at the network edge should run PIM-SM, while switches at the network core should run PIM-DM.
• B. All switches must use PIM-DM only or all switches must use PIM-SM only for the solution to work.
• C. Different interfaces on the same switch can run in different modes, but the mode must match the neighbor.
• D. Switches at the network core should run PIM-DM, while switches at the network edge should run PIM-SM.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because for PIM to function properly across the network, all switches must be configured to use the same mode, either PIM-DM or PIM-SM. Options A, C, and D suggest mixed modes or specific configurations that would lead to incompatibilities in the PIM operation, which is not allowed.
