A.
it enables PIM BSR

B.
it makes the router an Auto-RP mapping agent

C.
it advertises the router as an RP with Auto-RP

D.
it makes the router an Auto-RP client

Explanation:
If no ip pim rp-announce-filter commands are configured, a router enabled to be an RP mapping
agent (using the ip pim send-rp-discovery command) will accept all RP announcements for all
groups from all C-RPs.
Configure one or more ip pim rp-announce-filter commands on RP mapping agents to filter
unwanted RP messages.

ip pim send-rp-announce
To use Auto-RP to configure groups for which the router will act as a rendezvous point (RP), use
the ip pim send-rp-announce command in global configuration mode. To unconfigure this router as
an RP, use the no form of this command.
