Re: sparse-mode without configuring RP !!

George,

 Auto-RP uses groups 224.0.1.39 and .40 for the RP & mapping agent
announces, but this groups work only on dense mode. If you are restricted
to use sparse mode only, you can use the 'ip pim auto-rp listener' command
on every router (which activates dense-mode for this two groups only) or
else you can use BSR.

 Also since you are working on a FR hub&spoke network, be careful with
multicast traffic between the spokes not getting through the spokes; if you
have this problem you should use nbma-mode on the hub.

Regards

Gianpietro
