More questions about Multicast. I have note received any answers to the previous ones. I hope somebody helps with those as well.
In any case, this is what I understand about ip pim autorp listener (of course all this applies to Auto-RP only) - Both, RP(s) and Mapping Agent are in Sparse Mode; ip pim sparse - All other (participant) Routers require Sparse-Dense: ip pim sparse-dense-mode - As an alternative, Leaf Routers may use: ip pim autorp listener This allows ONLY groups 224.0.1.39 & 224.0.1.40 to operate in Dense Mode. Everything else will operate in Sparse Mode! If this is correct, then the RP(s) and Mapping Agent will NOT need ip pim autorp listener Now in this Task, R2 should announce itself as the RP But in the solution you do configure ip pim autorp listener in R2!! Why? I checked the final config and in fact ip pim autorp listener is there. So I guess either the solution is wrong or all my previous logic is wrong. It is one or the other! Could you please clarify? Thank you! --- On Sat, 7/11/09, Carlos Valero <[email protected]> wrote: From: Carlos Valero <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [OSL | CCIE_RS] Vol 3, Lab 6, Task 5.2 (Multicast) To: "prakash patel" <[email protected]>, [email protected], [email protected], "Jared Scrivener" <[email protected]> Date: Saturday, July 11, 2009, 5:17 PM Sorry, but I have another question about Multicast In Task 5.2 of this Lab (Vol 3, lab 6) the requirements state: "Multicast Traffic should distributed exclusively on Shared Trees" In the solution, BIDIR is enabled in all participating Routers: - ip pim bidir-enable But I'm not sure why. What part of these requirements "forces" us to use ip pim bidir-enable ? I guess it is not the fact we are using Shared Trees, right? I believe that we can have Sparse Mode using Unidirectional Shared Trees, correct? So is it the fact that says: "exclusively on Shared Trees" what makes us use BIDIR? Could you please explain? Thank you!! --- On Fri, 7/10/09, Jared Scrivener <[email protected]> wrote: Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2009 11:16:45 -0400 From: [email protected] To: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [OSL | CCIE_RS] Vol 3, Lab 2, Task 5.1 (Multicast) OK, seems like I jumped in a little prematurely here. The ACL is fine and the priority doesn’t need swapping in your solution below, Carlos (but your question has a typo). Anyhow, the Solution Guide is being updated correctly and will be in the members section on our next update cycle.

The priority value should be swapped so that it uses 10 on R2 and 20 on R7. This is just another lesson in how CCIE’s can make typo’s. I’m fixing it up in our Proctor Guide now.

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? --- On Thu, 7/9/09, Carlos Valero <[email protected] <http://yahoo.com/> > wrote: From: Carlos Valero <[email protected] <http://yahoo.com/> > Subject: Re: [OSL | CCIE_RS] Vol 3, Lab 2, Task 5.1 (Multicast) To: [email protected] <http://onlinestudylist.com/> , "Joe Astorino" <[email protected] <http://ipexpert.com/> > Date: Thursday, July 9, 2009, 7:26 PM 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 :-( --- On Wed, 7/8/09, Joe Astorino <[email protected] <http://ipexpert.com/> > wrote: -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ For more information regarding industry leading CCIE Lab training, please visit www.ipexpert.com _______________________________________________ For more information regarding industry leading CCIE Lab training, please visit www.ipexpert.com Insert movie times and more without leaving Hotmail®.
