Question 2
Which statement correctly describes Designated Forwarder in bidirectional PIM?

B. It is responsible for forwarding all multicast traffic on to and off of the local subnet
C. It is elected based on the highest IP address of all PIM routers on the local subnet and is the only router on the local subnet that may forward multicast traffic up the shared tree

Answer: A
Question 3
Why does the network administrator always avoid applying the multicast address 255.0.0.11 to multicast applications?

B. The address is reserved by the IANA for the Session Announcement Protocol
C. this is a link-local multicast address which is never forwarded beyond the local subnet
D. This address is reserved by the IANA for the Multicast Address Dynamic Client Allocation Protocol
B. The address is reserved by the IANA for the Session Announcement Protocol
C. this is a link-local multicast address which is never forwarded beyond the local subnet

Answer: A
Question 4
Refer to the following descriptions about anycast RPs. Which one is true?
A. Anycast RPs are unable to be used in conjunction with Auto-RPs
B. After a failure of one of the anycast RPs, the PIM network will reconverge on the remaining anycast RP or RPs in less than one second
C. After a failure of one of the anycast RPs, the PIM network will reconverge on the remaining anycast RP or RPs in roughly the same time that it takes unicast routing to reconverge
D. The anycast RPs should be within the same IGP domain
B. After a failure of one of the anycast RPs, the PIM network will reconverge on the remaining anycast RP or RPs in less than one second
C. After a failure of one of the anycast RPs, the PIM network will reconverge on the remaining anycast RP or RPs in roughly the same time that it takes unicast routing to reconverge
D. The anycast RPs should be within the same IGP domain
Answer: C
Question 5
IGMP has versions IGMP vl, v2 and v3. Which improvements does IGMPv3 offer over IGMPv2?
A. IGMPv3 added the ability for a host to specify which sources in a multicast group it wishes to receive
B. IGMPv3 added the ability for a host to specify which sources in a multicast group it does not wishes to receive
C. IGMPv3 removed the ability to perform a wildcard join of all sources in a multicast group
D. IGMPv3 removed the report-suppression feature for IGMP membership reports
B. IGMPv3 added the ability for a host to specify which sources in a multicast group it does not wishes to receive

D. IGMPv3 removed the report-suppression feature for IGMP membership reports
Answer: A B D

Answer: A

B. GLOP addresses
C. SDP / SAP addresses
D. any class A, class B, or class C host addresses
B. GLOP addresses
