Lab 4. Multicast - Sparse Mode - Auto RP

• In sparse mode auto RP, need to activate command ‘ip pim autorp listener’ in global config. So it will create Candidate and Mapping Agent
• Cisco-Announce use 224.0.1.39
• Cisco-Discovery use 224.0.1.40

Lets do the lab :)

ip pim autorp listener

For the testing interface lo0 in R1 will join group to ip multicast for example 239.0.0.1 and configure RP Candidate and RP mapping agent in one router. Actually it can be separated between RP Candidate and RP mapping agent.

R1#

int lo0

 ip igmp join-group 239.0.0.1

!

ip pim send-rp-announce loopback 0 scope 255

ip pim send-rp-discovery scope 255

Let’s verify the multicast
