Exhibit
R4 is directly connected to both RPs (R2 and R3) R4 is currently sending all ,o,ns upstream to R3 but you want all joins to go to R2 instead Referring to the exhibit, which configuration change will solve this issue?
- Change the bootstrap priority on R2 to be higher than R3
- Change the default route in inet.2 on R4 from R3 as the next hop to R2
- Change the local address on R2 to be higher than R3.
- Change the group-range to be more specific on R2 than R3.
Answer(s): A
Explanation:
PIM Bootstrap Router (BSR) is a mechanism that allows PIM routers to discover and announce rendezvous point (RP) information for multicast groups. BSR uses two roles: candidate BSR and candidate RP. Candidate BSR is the router that collects information from all available RPs in the network and advertises it throughout the network. Candidate RP is the router that wants to become the RP and registers itself with the BSR. There can be only one active BSR in the network, which is elected based on the highest priority or highest IP address if the priority is the same. The BSR priority can be configured manually or assigned automatically. The default priority is 0 and the highest priority is 2551. In this question, R4 is directly connected to both RPs (R2 and R3) and is currently sending all joins upstream to R3 but we want all joins to go to R2 instead. To achieve this, we need to change the BSR priority on R2 to be higher than R3 so that R2 becomes the active BSR and advertises its RP information to R4.
