JNCIP-ENT: Juniper Networks Certified Professional – Enterprise Routing (2022) — Question 15

You want to implement an RP in your PIM sparse mode environment, you are considering the advantages and disadvantages of the various RP election methods.
In this scenario, which three implementation guidelines are correct? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. The auto-RP method requires using two PIM dense mode groups from the 323/8 range.
• B. The auto-RP method includes the ability to maintain a backup RP.
• C. With the bootstrap method, the primary criterion for electing a BSR is priority value.
• D. When multiple election methods are implemented on a device, the static method is preferred.
• E. The static method requires configuration on all devices in the PIM domain.

Correct answer: A, B, C

Explanation

The correct answers A, B, and C highlight the specifics of the auto-RP and bootstrap methods in PIM sparse mode. Option D is incorrect because the static method is not necessarily preferred; it depends on the network design. Option E is also wrong as the static method does require configuration on all devices, which may not always be practical.
