Hi Paul, To configure a router to be an Auto-RP use the following command:
Router(config)# ip pim send-rp-announce scope This should be applied on both R1 & R2 in your scenario. To configure a router a RP mapping agent (R4 in your scenario) use: Router(config)#ip pim send-rp-discovery scope Routers configured as Auto-RP advertises Cisco-RP-Announce at 224.0.1.39 while routers configured as RP mapping agents listens on this IP and sends inturn the RP-to-group mappings in an auto-RP RP discovery message to the well known Cisco-RP-Discovery 224.0.1.40 PIM DRs listen to 224.0.1.40 to determine which RP to use. Kindly let us know if this will work out or not as I am not that strong with Multicast and it happens for me to be studying it now so I looked for the commands but never tried it myself.
