Question 5
Single choice
An engineer is designing a PIM Anycast RP solution between two data centers. The design must ensure that RP1 in DC1 and RP2 in DC2 inform each other about specific sources that have joined locally.
Which solution must the engineer choose?
A
Provision the RPs on the same IP subnet and extend the subnet at Layer 2 between data centers
B
Enable MSDP between RPs using separate unique loopback interfaces
C
Enable MSDP between RPs using the configured Anycast RP address
D
No action is required because PIM registers from the source will, by default, reach each RP
Reveal answer detailsClose answer details
Correct answerB
Explanation
Explanation: In Anycast RP, two or more RPs are configured with the same IP address on loopback interfaces. The Anycast RP loopback address should be configured with a 32-bit mask, making it a host address. All the downstream routers should be configured to "know" that the Anycast RP loopback address is the IP address of their local RP. IP routing automatically will select the topologically closest RP for each source and receiver.
MSDP used for Anycast RP is an intradomain feature that provides redundancy and load-sharing capabilities. Enterprise customers typically use Anycast RP for configuring a Protocol Independent Multicast sparse mode (PIM-SM) network to meet fault tolerance requirements within a single multicast domain.

A
They notify the upstream routerof multicast traffic.
B
They send PIM prune message toward multicast sources.
C
They eliminate overlapping multicast addresses.
D
They prevent loops and duplicate packets.
Reveal answer detailsClose answer details
Correct answerD
Explanation
Explanation: Reverse path forwarding (RPF) mechanisms are used to prevent loops and duplicate packets in multicast deployments [1]. The RPF check verifies that all multicast traffic received on a router is sourced from the expected direction, ensuring that multicast traffic is not looped back in the network. The RPF check works by comparing the source IP address of a multicast packet with the routing table, and only forwarding it if it matches the expected entry.

An engineer is designing a PIM Anycast RP solution between two data centers. The design must ensure that RP1 in DC1 and RP2 in DC2 inform each other about specific sources that have joined locally.
Which solution must the engineer choose?
A.
Provision the RPs on the same IP subnet and extend the subnet at Layer 2 between data centers
B.
Enable MSDP between RPs using separate unique loopback interfaces
C.
Enable MSDP between RPs using the configured Anycast RP address
D.
No action is required because PIM registers from the source will, by default, reach each RP
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation: In Anycast RP, two or more RPs are configured with the same IP address on loopback interfaces. The Anycast RP loopback address should be configured with a 32-bit mask, making it a host address. All the downstream routers should be configured to "know" that the Anycast RP loopback address is the IP address of their local RP. IP routing automatically will select the topologically closest RP for each source and receiver.
MSDP used for Anycast RP is an intradomain feature that provides redundancy and load-sharing capabilities. Enterprise customers typically use Anycast RP for configuring a Protocol Independent Multicast sparse mode (PIM-SM) network to meet fault tolerance requirements within a single multicast domain.

A.
They notify the upstream routerof multicast traffic.
B.
They send PIM prune message toward multicast sources.
C.
They eliminate overlapping multicast addresses.
D.
They prevent loops and duplicate packets.
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation: Reverse path forwarding (RPF) mechanisms are used to prevent loops and duplicate packets in multicast deployments [1]. The RPF check verifies that all multicast traffic received on a router is sourced from the expected direction, ensuring that multicast traffic is not looped back in the network. The RPF check works by comparing the source IP address of a multicast packet with the routing table, and only forwarding it if it matches the expected entry.
