Which two configuration tasks are required in this scenario?

You are asked to configure PIM-SM in your network. Your implementation must allow for load sharing between redundant RPs and, should an RP failure occur, the RP failover time should be minimized.
Which two configuration tasks are required in this scenario? (Choose two.)
A. Configure MSDP peering sessions between the routers designated as RPs.
B. Configure the shared anycast address on the RPs as the primary address on the loopback interface.
C. On the routers designated as RPs, configure the shared anycast address on the loopback interface.
D. Configure at least two static RPs and bundle them in an RP redundancy group under [edit protocols pim].

  1. A,C
    For the purposes of load balancing and redundancy, you can configure anycast RP. You can use anycast RP within a domain to provide redundancy and RP load sharing. When an RP fails, sources and receivers are taken to a new RP by means of unicast routing. When you configure anycast RP, you bypass the restriction of having one active RP per multicast group, and instead deploy multiple RPs for the same group range. The RP routers share one unicast IP address. Sources from one RP are known to other RPs that use the Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP). Sources and receivers use the closest RP, as determined by the interior gateway protocol (IGP).
