Hello Mohammed,
there is no need for configuring a loopback interface with a
"ip pim sparse-mode" together with static RP or Auto-RP ( on the
Candidate router ).
You must only configure "ip pim sparse-mode" for a loopback
interface on a Mapping Agent for Auto-RP! The reason for this
is, that the loopback-interface with it's address is used for sending
PIM discovery messages.
Kind regards
