Made a little mistake on the requirements section.
The second part should be like this:

Configure R7 to announce candidacy as an RP for Groups:

- First octet = 225 or 227  

- Second octet less than 128  

- Priority = 20

Originally I wrote Priority = 10

But the solution it is being configured with Priority = 10

- ip pim rp-candidate  l1  group-list 51 prio 10

That's exactly the source of my confusion.

Why is R7 configuration based on R2's requirements and vice-versa?

Hello,

I think I need some help with this task.
It seems to be quite simple, but to me the solution seems to be backwards and 
I'm very confused and stock!

Requirements:

Configure R2 to announce candidacy as an RP for Groups:
- First octet = 225 or 227  
- Priority = 10

Configure R7 to announce candidacy as an RP for Groups:

- First octet = 225 or 227  

- Second octet less than 128  

- Priority = 10


Solution:

R2:

access-list 51 permit 225.0.0.0  0.255.255.255
access-list 51 permit 227.0.0.0  0.255.255.255

ip pim rp-candidate  l1  group-list 51 prio 20
ip pim bsr-candidate l1

R7:

access-list 51 permit 225.0.0.0  0.127.255.255
access-list 51 permit 227.0.0.0  0.127.255.255
access-list 51 permit 225.0.0.0  0.127.255.255
access-list 51 permit 227.0.0.0  0.127.255.255

ip pim rp-candidate  l1  group-list 51 prio 10
ip pim bsr-candidate l1

This seems
 to be backwards to me!

That is, the requirements state that R2 should have a Priority = 10 and
R7  should have a Priority = 20

But it is configured backwards!  R2 = 20  and  R7 = 10!

Needless to say, the ACL also seem to be backwards to me!

Obviously, there is something that I'm missing here.
And frankly I don't know what it is.

I hope somebody can help.

Did I mention that Multicast is my less favorite topic?
Actually I should say that I almost hate it :-(
