Hello Folks,
Just a quick sanity check ......
I have three routers (R1,R2 and R3) configured for Sparse mode.
Since its sparse mode and not sparse-dense mode, I cannot use Auto RP as dense mode is required typically to forward the two groups needed for A-RP.
224.0.1.39 (announce)
224.0.1.40 (discovery)
Lets say I want to make R3 loopback0(1.1.1.1) interface as my RP
-R1--------|R2-------|R3
So I will configure R3 lo0 as static RP on R1 and R2 .....but do I MUST also tell R3 that its loopback interface is the RP ??
In otherwords, do I MUST need to configure
ip pim rp-address 1.1.1.1 on R3 ??
In my setup, it still works if I don't configure rp on R3 to tell it that its a RP ?? The way I am testing this is I let one of the R1 interface join a group and then ping it from R2 or R1.
Will this be considered a valid configuration if I don't configure static RP on R3??
Thanks,
Nauman
