RE: Bidir-PIM: Example

If I understand correctly groups not matching the RP group access left
will fail back to dense-mode unless otherwise allowed.

The example is supposed to have an RP that can support 3 blocks of
groups

224/8 and 227/8 as bidirectional
226/8 as only sparse mode only

If you configure sparse mode only, you issue the same command without
the bidirectional. So if I wanted 224/8 and 227/8 to be bidirectional
(and 226/8 as sparse only), wouldn't the config for the RP be as
follows?

Ip multicast-routing
!
Ip pim bidir-enable
!
ip pim rp-address 10.0.1.1 45 bidir
ip pim rp-address 10.0.2.1 46
!
access-list 45 permit 224.0.0.0 0.255.255.255
access-list 45 permit 227.0.0.0 0.255.255.255
access-list 46 permit 226.0.0.0 0.255.255.255

If the example from Cisco is correct, how does ios know which ones are
sparse mode and which ones are bidirectional?

Thanks,

jay

I don't understand why you expect it to be stripped off?
the bidirectional is configured together with sparse mode, the
bidirectional job is like to be the master of a sparse mode domain to
control several RP's by adding a designated forwarder (DF)
