The multicast implementation shown in the exhibit indicates that R2 is elected as the RP (Rendezvous Point) for the domain. This is inferred from the configuration commands which show R2 set up as a Bootstrap Router (BSR) candidate. In PIM-SM (Protocol Independent Multicast Sparse Mode), the BSR is responsible for announcing the RP-set to all routers in the PIM domain, and since R2 is the only BSR candidate, it effectively becomes the RP by default unless there are other configurations not shown in the exhibit.
[: The explanation is based on the concepts outlined in the Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies (SPCOR) course, which covers multicast routing and PIM-SM operations in detail. For more information, you can refer to the official Cisco SPCOR training and certification resources., ]
