IEWB Ver 3 Lab 16 Task 6.2 (Redundant Auto-RP)

Hi GS,

Two routers have been configured as candidate Auto-RPs for the same multicast groups. R4 is elected as RP while R5 is backup. The configuration is the same on both and the IP PIM RP-ANNOUNCE-FILTER config on the mapping agent is the same for both Routers. I do not understand how R4 came to be the RP. Is it the IP address?

Please any explanation would be greatly appreciated. Also if this was a BSR configuration, what would be different?

Thanks
