RE: sparse-mode without configuring RP !!

        Auto-RP doesn't necessarily require dense mode. Sparse-dense
mode and the autorp listener feature both run the auto-rp announce and
discover (224.0.1.39 and 224.0.1.40) groups as dense. You can however
configure a default RP for these groups statically, which would allow
the entire network to be sparse only. The config would be something
like:

access-list 1 permit 224.0.1.39
access-list 1 permit 224.0.1.40
!
ip pim rp-address 1.2.3.4 1
