Statically defined RP
B.
Bootstrap Router

Explanation:
A Rendezvous Point (RP) is a router in a multicast network domain that acts as a shared root for a
multicast shared tree. Any number of routers can be configured to work as RPs and they can be
configured to cover different group ranges. For correct operation, every multicast router within a
Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) domain must be able to map a particular multicast group
address to the same RP.
The following mechanisms are valid ways to determine the RP:
• Static RP
• Bootstrap Router (BSR)
• Auto-RP
• Anycast-RP
• Phantom RP
• Embedded RP
