Hello all, This task says that R8 should be a stub router and forward all its request to R7 (upstream router), in addition R8 also has a source 224.88.88.88 connected to it. Another requirement is that R7 should be the RP for this source. This is accomplished using static rp on all the routers except router R8.
Well, proctor guide does not allow static rp statements on R8 router and removes all the existing static RP statements from router R8 as part of making it stub router. My question is that even though we have removed the static RP entries but this router is still receiving the rp-announcements from router R1 (Auto-rp) that we configured in the beginning of the LAB. I think we need to filter those broadcasts from reaching to this router to make it a truley stub router. Also, in that case we can use auto-rp to advertise R7 as a RP for the group 224.88.88.88 and not worry about configuring statically everywhere. Thanks Suresh
