Group,

I have two basic questions on multicast scenarios. Could you please
clarify.

Configuring PIM Version 2

PIM Version 2 includes the following improvements over PIM Version 1:

A single, active RP exists per multicast group, with multiple backup RPs.
This single RP compares to multiple active RPs for the same group in PIM
Version 1.

A bootstrap router (BSR) provides a fault-tolerant, automated RP discovery
and distribution mechanism. Thus, routers dynamically learn the group-to-RP
mappings.

Question 1:
----------------
First bullet above says, Multiple Active RP's are possible for same
multicast group . ? Is this true ? Any config tips.

Question 2:
-----------------
"ip pim accept-rp ..." can it be used for BSR ? or is it only for
Auto-rp ?

Thanks & Rgds
