HP Exam HPE6-A73 Topic 1 Question 116 Discussion

Actual exam question for HP's HPE6-A73 exam

Question #: 116
Topic #: 1

A network administrator is managing a network that deploys a multicast service. The administrator has

multiple streams successfully being routed by PIM-DM in the network. The administrator then adds a new stream with a destination address of 239.0.0.1. However, clients who have not joined the stream are receiving it.

What should the administrator do to fix this problem?

AVerify that IGMP is enabled between the switches connecting the multicast source and receivers

BChange the destination multicast address to 239.1.1.1

CDefine the 239.0.0.1 stream on the rendezvous point (RP)

DDefine the 239.0.0.1 stream on the PIM candidate bootstrap router

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

MAC/IP overlap. 239.0.0.1 would be the same MAC for 224.0.0.1. 224.0.0.0/24 is always flooded over every port.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'm leaning towards option B, but I'm not completely sure.

I think the administrator should verify that IGMP is enabled between the switches.
