It's a little bit difficult which Joseph you mean :-)
But those 2 commands mean that: Set those 2 groups to use
Manually-configured RP.
This is what happens when you define an RP to a group. It sets the
group into Sparse mode as the determining factor for a group being in
dense or sparse mode.
Because of the chicken and egg problem, you can't automatically assign
auto-rp to those 2 groups 224.0.1.39/40 until you discover the RP
first. That's why those 2 groups natively work in Dense mode.
By using those commands, you are assigning an RP to those 2 groups,
which means you are forcing them into sparse even before discovery of
the RP via the Auto-RP mechanism.
Other people are free to comment.
Cheers,
Joseph
