Cisco Exam 300-510 Topic 2 Question 83 Discussion

Actual exam question for Cisco's 300-510 exam

Question #: 83
Topic #: 2

The ISP_A network is configured with PIMv2 with sparse mode. The engineering team at ISP_A must implement multicast support following RFC 5059 in the network. The RP priority will be 0, and the solution must require limited supervision from the operations team. Which action must the team take to meet the requirements?

AImplement Auto-RP on the candidate RP and the mapping agent only.

BImplement Static RP across all routers in the network.

CImplement bootstrap router in the network core.

DImplement Anycast-RP on edge routers only.

What about implementing bootstrap router in the network core? That could also meet the requirements.

I believe implementing Auto-RP on the candidate RP and the mapping agent only would require limited supervision from the operations team.

But wouldn't it be more efficient to implement Static RP across all routers in the network?

I think we should implement Anycast-RP on edge routers only.

But won't using Anycast-RP on edge routers only require more supervision from the operations team?

I'm leaning towards option D and implementing Anycast-RP on edge routers only. It seems like a simpler solution.

I disagree, I believe we should choose option B and implement Static RP across all routers in the network.

You know, I was actually thinking about option A - implementing Auto-RP on the candidate RP and the mapping agent. That way, we can have a dynamic RP selection process, and the ops team only needs to configure the candidate RP and mapping agent. Seems like the best balance of features and simplicity to me.

Haha, yeah, that would be a real headache for the ops team. Maybe they could just set up a bootstrap router in the core instead? That way, the RP can be dynamically selected, and the priority can still be set to 0.

Hmm, I don't know. The bootstrap router option sounds good, but it might be overkill for our requirements. What about option D? Implementing Anycast-RP on the edge routers could give us the dynamic RP selection we need, with less complexity than the bootstrap router.

I don't know, I'm a little worried about the static RP approach. What if we need to change the RP in the future? Wouldn't that be a pain to update on all the routers?

I'm not so sure about that, man. Static RP might be the simplest option, but it requires a lot of manual configuration across the entire network. What if we go with option C and implement a bootstrap router in the core? That way, we can have a dynamic RP selection process and reduce the burden on the ops team.

Whoa, this question is tricky! We have to implement multicast support following RFC 5059, with an RP priority of 0 and minimal supervision for the ops team. I'm leaning towards option B - implementing Static RP across all routers. That way, we can have a centralized RP and avoid the complexity of other solutions.

Good point, Martina. Maybe option B, static RP, would be better since we can explicitly set the priority to 0 on the candidate RP. That way, the operations team doesn't have to worry about it too much.

But wait, don't we need to make sure the RP priority is set to 0? I'm not sure if Auto-RP would let us do that automatically.

I don't think Auto-RP will allow us to set the RP priority to 0. Implementing Static RP might be the way to go.

I agree, Samira. And with the PIMv2 sparse mode, I think option A might be the way to go. Auto-RP seems like the easiest way to handle the RP selection without too much manual configuration.

Ooh, this is a tricky one! I'm not too familiar with all the multicast protocols, but I'm guessing the team needs to implement some kind of automatic RP discovery to meet the 'limited supervision' requirement.
