Question

Refer to the exhibit. A network engineer must enable multicast in the network in support of a new business initiative to launch multicast-based company TV. The multicast source is connected to Layer 3 switch SW_1 with an IP address of 172.16.12.1. ip multicast-routing has been configured on SW_1, and CoPP policies across the LAN segment have been adjusted to allow IP protocol number 103. All hosts in the network should receive the TV flow, but they should be permitted to prune themselves from the flow. Which task must the engineer perform to achieve the goal?

Explanation

PIM Dense Mode (PIM-DM) is suitable for scenarios where multicast traffic needs to be sent to all devices in a network, with devices able to prune themselves if they don't want the multicast stream. This behavior aligns with the requirement that "all hosts in the network should receive the TV flow, but they should be permitted to prune themselves from the flow." PIM-DM floods multicast traffic to all routers and then allows non-interested routers to send prune messages, reducing unnecessary traffic.
