Hi Adam and all,

on R6 they had:
!
access-list 1 permit 239.1.1.1
access-list 1 permit 239.1.1.2
!
ip pim send-rp-announce lo0 scope 10 group-list 1
ip pim send-rp-discovery lo0 scope 10
!

that means they announced via AutoRP that this router (R6) wanted to be RP for 
2 MDT groups (239.1.1.1 & 239.1.1.2). But at the same time the presenter 
defined following on this router R6:

!
ip pim rp-address 6.6.6.6
!
<<< statically defining this R6 to be the RP (but that is irrelevant as you 
mentioned the dynamic RP announcement is preferred over the static).

Then he was checking on other routers RP mapping tables where apart from the 
expected 2 multicast groups (239.1.1.1 & 239.1.1.2) he was also seeing whole 
multicast range 224/4 R6 being RP for. So then he added "1" to the end of the 
static RP defining statement (ip pim rp-address 6.6.6.6 1) and that corrected 
the issue, after clearing the RP mappings on other routers he could see the 2 
multicast groups only advertised by RP R6.

My concern is, that if the dynamic RP mapping is preferred why the R6 was still 
announced as RP for 224/8 due to the static definition?

....is it because he did not wait enough time after clearing the RP mappings 
before he added the "1"
