Question 520
A customer multicasts test traffic while no receivers are joined. Observed: Operators report no outgoing multicast copies and assume a network failure. Which change-acceptance control is most relevant to preventing this exact failure?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The control is specific to the initial failure. It requires the result With a deliberate receiver join, forwarding appears only on the subscribed branch. and treats Operators report no outgoing multicast copies and assume a network failure. as a failure signal. The causal concern is pim sparse mode rightly prunes branches without subscribed receivers.
Incorrect Answers
It is valid for another service scenario but checks one receiver never sees the stream although the other is healthy. This case instead needs a gate for operators report no outgoing multicast copies and assume a network failure and evidence that with a deliberate receiver join, forwarding appears only on the subscribed branch.
The proposed control is tied to pim operating mode does not match the intended sparse distribution tree, typically observed when the link is in dense-mode flood-and-prune behavior rather than sparse-mode operation. Here the target is pim sparse mode rightly prunes branches without subscribed receivers; monitor with a deliberate receiver join, forwarding appears only on the subscribed branch.
This gate monitors a different failure, traffic reaches links with no subscribers until prune state forms. It would not detect the current problem: Operators report no outgoing multicast copies and assume a network failure. The appropriate check requires with a deliberate receiver join, forwarding appears only on the subscribed branch.
