Which two types of multicast trees are supported by Cisco NX-OS? (Choose two.)
A. private trees
B. shared trees
C. unicast trees
D. anycast trees
E. unidirectional trees
F. bidirectional trees
Correct Answer: BF
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
A shared tree represents the shared distribution path that the multicast traffic takes through the network from a shared root or rendezvous point (RP) to each receiver. (The RP creates an SPT to each source.) A shared tree is also called an RP tree (RPT)
A bidirectional shared tree represents the shared distribution path that the multicast traffic takes through the network from a shared root, or rendezvous point (RP), to each receiver. Multicast data is forwarded to receivers encountered on the way to the RP.
