Question 300
An enterprise network designer recommends: Inspect multicast routing entries and their source/group tuple format. Which situation most clearly calls for this action?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This case requires the Multicast route state action. The router's recorded state reveals whether forwarding is group-shared or source-specific.
Incorrect Answers
This other case would be better matched to Allow multicast routers to replicate packets only at appropriate branch points. Shared upstream links can carry one stream until the paths toward receivers diverge.
This other case would be better matched to Use a multicast group address and appropriate multicast routing to serve subscribers. A single source stream can be replicated only where receivers have joined the group.
This other case would be better matched to Use source-specific multicast join state for the selected (S,G) channel. The multicast tree is built for the approved sender and group combination.
