Thanks for the response. what is the rationale behind this from the
router perspective? I would really like to understand the reason why....

thanks

Hi group,

i have a simple question:

in sparse mode/sparse-dense mode if i want a router to be the RP only
for certain groups, I can configure:

ip pim send-rp-announce loopbakc 0 scope 16 group-list [my list]

no problem here. However, after the above is configured, do I still
need the group-list parameter on the RP mapping agent router:

ip pim rp-announce-filter rp-list [my router] group-list [my list]

aren't the two [my list] redundant? Is there a reason why I need both?

NO, YES.

        Thank you for your help....
