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!!

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 ACL is fine. 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.

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 :-(
