Re: ip mroute considered a static route?

ip mroute is NOT static route... ?
 
"ip mroute" is exact opposite of "ip route". ip route specifies where the packet should go next. ip mroute specifies when the packet should be coming from.
when the multicast paths (linked by various interface that has "ip pim sparse-dense") does not map to unicast routing paths:
 
ip mroute [RP address] 255.255.255.255 [which upstream router this should be coming from]
ip mroute [RP mapping agent address] 255.255.255.255 [which upstream router this should be coming from]
ip mroute [multicast sources] 255.255.x.x [which upstream router this should be coming from]
 
 
What could be the alternate way?
 
 
 
 
Connect to MBONE via DVMRP tunnel:
 ip access-list standard XXX
permit y.y.y.y permit x.x.x.x (all the networks that will provide multicast feeds)

I asked the proctor. He told me they are not allowed. He might be wrong. At
the end I have found another solution.

Best regards,
