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
